[Extensive ulcerated basalioma. Irradiation with ionizing radiation after electrocautery debridement].
Soft X-Ray (Dermopan) is an effective and gentle treatment for large basal cell carcinomas of the face. It is an useful alternative to extensive and often cosmetically unsatisfactory surgery, especially in large basal cell carcinomas covering an area of more than 4 cm2. A 79-year-old man presented with a 4,5-year history of an extensive basal cell carcinoma on the right temple, which was treated by soft x-ray after removal of excessive tumor tissue with electrocautery. A total dosage of 48 Gy was employed.
