Abstract
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy that can cause local tissue destruction. While treatment options for BCC vary depending on the degree of malignant progression, surgical intervention is generally required when there is significant tissue involvement. We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with extensive BCCs requiring a multidisciplinary surgical approach for treatment. Our case highlights the importance of utilizing a multidisciplinary team as well as different surgical management options for late stage BCCs.
