Basal Cell Carcinoma Arising Within a Bacillus Calmette–Guérin Vaccination Scar With Prolonged Inflammatory Response: Case Report
Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma (iBCC) can rarely arise within scar tissue, as demonstrated by this unique case of BCC developing in a Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination scar. This underscores the importance of monitoring prolonged post-vaccination inflammation and exploring its potential link to skin cancer development.
