case_images: Giant ulcerative basal cell carcinoma of the upper back measuring 26cmx16cm with exposure of the paravertebral musculature and thoracic spinous processes. The patient had a tattoo on his back since adolescence, before the development of the lesion

case_images: T8 vertebral bodies with exposure of the spinous processes and paravertebral musculature, which was most prominent at the level of T5. The lesion contained punctate areas of bleeding, granulation tissue, and copious serous drainage. The boarders were clearly defined and without satellite lesions (Figure 1).
