Hijacked highway: A rare case of basal cell carcinoma encasing a cranio-peritoneal shunt

There is a limited number of case studies that describe implantable devices as a conduit for tumour dissemination.The risk of dissemination did not occur in this case. The long-term follow-up of this case contributes to the literature on decision making in the management of head and neck tumors involving shunts.
