Multiple primary synchronous malignant skin neoplasms (case report and literature review)

Abstract

The non-melanoma skin cancer is a leader among malignant tumours over last decades. Also, the incidence of multiple primary malignant neoplasms is increasing. We reported the case of a 68-year-old woman with locally advanced multiple primary synchronous malignant skin neoplasms (basal cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid carcinoma of skin) who was successfully treated. Thanks to individualized multimodal treatment, the basis of which is radical surgical intervention, careful follow-up was possible to achieve a complete cure of the patient with a good cosmetic and functional result. Our case report represents the need to increase the level of oncological alertness among primary care specialists and conduct educational work among the population in order to early diagnose tumors.
