Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of skin cancer among adults, but in children it is extremely rare and is usually associated with genetic syndromes (for example, Gorlin–Goltz syndrome or xeroderma pigmentosum) or with the consequences of radiation therapy performed in children. We present a clinical case of a 10-year-old child diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. The child’s parents consented to the publication of the data. A 10-year-old patient, accompanied by his mother, came to the outpatient department of the St. Petersburg Clinical Scientific and Practical Center for Specialized Types of Medical Care (Oncology) named after N.P. Napalkov (KNPC SVMP) with complaints about a formation that was detected 4 months ago and was increasing in size. From the family history it is known that the boy’s mother was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 13, for which chemoradiotherapy was performed. At the age of 30, she was diagnosed with multiple basal cell carcinomas in the area of radiation.
