When a metastatic basal cell carcinoma is discovered, the average survival is only 8 to 10 months. The patient in this case report has been followed for 10 years from the initial metastatic discovery and 7 years from the last metastatic surgery by one of the authors. There has been no evidence of recurrent disease. The topic of metastatic basal cell carcinoma is detailed in this report.
