Treatment of multiple relapsing non-melanoma skin cancers in a patient with severe hemophilia A.
Although non-melanoma skin cancers are the most predominant malignancies in the Caucasian population and hemophilia A is one of the most frequent hereditary bleeding disorders, medical literature data about the management of non-melanoma skin cancers in patients with hemophilia are surprisingly scarce. In this case report we describe the treatment of a patient with multiple recurrent non-melanoma skin cancers and severe hemophilia A. The management of such patients could be very challenging, with possible significant bleeding complications, and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
