Basalioma Multicentric

Basalioma multicentric tumor

Basalioma is one of the types of malignant skin tumors. It is characterized by slow growth and long survival in patients, but requires constant monitoring and treatment. One of the common forms of basalioma is multicentric basalioma, which develops on the skin as multiple separate lesions.

What are the causes of multicentric basalioma - Currently, there are several theories among scientists about the origin of this type of tumor: - Chromosomal abnormalities; - Mutations of genes associated with various oncogene genes or tumor suppressor genes.

Each of these theories has its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of explainability of their occurrence and development of the tumor process. Using the latest genetic analysis techniques, it was possible to accurately determine the chromosomal status of multicentric basal cell carcinomas. In 80% of cases, combinations of chromosome aberrations were identified

Basalioma is a malignant tumor of epidermal cells. It looks like a nodule with a pink or white color and an uneven surface with peeling. Such a basal cell carcinoma is diagnosed when it reaches 3–4 mm, as the formation of metastases begins. A tumor in this location is prone to relapse, does not grow deep into the tissue, and can metastasize through the lymphatic tract, which complicates treatment. Women with fair skin are more likely to suffer from basal cell carcinoma (if the skin is too light, there is a risk that it simply “disappears” into pigmented scars).
