A 75-year-old male presented in 2014 with a history of modified radical mastectomy for infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast which was performed 11 years prior to the day of presentation. Breast carcinoma was diagnosed following eruption of multiple SK at the same time. In the previous 3 years he noted a nodulo-ulcerative growth over the lateral aspect of the right lower eyelid which was clinically diagnosed as BCC. Mass excision under frozen section control and lid reconstruction was performed. Diagnosis of BCC was confirmed on histopathological examination of the excised specimen. Though a previously unobserved entity, our case supports the importance of Leser-Trélat sign and its relevance to affected individuals, as early recognition and prompt treatment of a low-stage cancer offers good pro...Continue Reading
