Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Finger: A Case Presentation
An 85-year-old patient presented with a basal cell carcinoma of the little finger that had first appeared eight years earlier. Biopsies from two sites confirmed basal cell carcinoma with squamous-cell features.
The patient received combined treatment with topical HYPEROIL wound-care cream and gauze and oral vismodegib for one year. After almost three months, epithelialisation had made significant progress. Close follow-up was considered necessary for up to one year after treatment began.
Finger movement and sensation improved during follow-up.
Collaboration between the plastic surgeon and dermatologist supported treatment planning and monitoring.
Photographs document the case before and after reconstruction.
