Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma: A 6-Year Retrospective Study.

Metatypical basal cell carcinoma (MBCC) represents a high-risk type of cutaneous tumor and has characteristics similar to basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. We report a retrospective study of 13 patients who presented with cervicofacial MBCC. Our study found an increased prevalence of aggressive clinicohistologic features and showed disease recurrences in more than one-third of the patients; therefore, we conclude that MBCC is an aggressive variant that requires a complex surgical approach for achieving a stable and complete remission.
