There are, however, several cases which are generally accepted as metastatic basal cell epitheliomas and a number of others which are thought to be possible cases of metastatic basal cell epithelioma. In 1931, Niles1 reported a case of metastatic basal cell epithelioma which later proved to be of the basal-squamous type.2 A review of the literature in his report included 5 cases of metastatic basal cell epithelioma, 1 each reported by Beadles, Janeway and Körbl (case 61) and 2 reported by Finnerud,3 and 4 cases of possible, but in his opinion not proved, metastatic basal cell epithelioma reported by D.
