Abstract

The case of a 66-year-old man who presented with an extensive pigmented basal cell carcinoma of the left cheek is reported. Treatment consisted of irradiation and staged surgical resections. The cosmetic result was excellent, and the patient has been free of the cheek tumor for 2 1/2 years. The numerous problems inherent in the treatment of patients with disfiguring facial skin malignancies were surmounted by a multidisciplinary team in which radiotherapy, plastic surgery, and dental services participated.
