Invasion of cartilage by basal cell carcinoma. 1980

J K Robinson, and S V Pollack, and P Robins

Extensive analysis of ten factors in 183 consecutive cases of basal cell carcinoma overlying cartilage of the nose and ear is performed in this prospective study. Duration of tumor and prior treatment rather than one specific modality of previous therapy are significant factors in predicting tumor invasion of cartilage, which necessitates removal of cartilage.

Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
