초록
Recently, some cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with lung metastasis have been reported,but those involving simultaneous tracheal, bronchial, and lung metastases have been rarelyreported. Here, we have reported a very unusual case of BCC with metastasis, presentingwith lung nodules and endobronchial lesions after two metastasectomies. Since BCC is aslow-growing cancer that rarely metastasizes to distant organs, tumor stage workup includ-ing radiological imaging has not been routinely performed in clinical practice. This caseshowed that BCC can metastasize to the lung, although the currently reported metastasisrate of BCC is extremely low.
Abstract
Recently, some cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with lung metastasis have been reported,but those involving simultaneous tracheal, bronchial, and lung metastases have been rarelyreported.

Since BCC is aslow-growing cancer that rarely metastasizes to distant organs, tumor stage workup includ-ing radiological imaging has not been routinely performed in clinical practice. This caseshowed that BCC can metastasize to the lung, although the currently reported metastasisrate of BCC is extremely low.
