Resumen

El Carcinoma basocelular es el tumor maligno más frecuente de la piel, aunque generalmente no supone un riesgo vital para el paciente. Sin embargo, existen casos en los que su agresividad local es muy importante, llegando a invadir estructuras profundas. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 62 años de edad, que había sido previamente intervenida en varias ocasiones de basaliomas multifocales en cuero cabelludo. Se presentó con una amplia recidiva local, con invasión de la duramadre y del seno longitudinal superior.

Describimos el caso clínico y el tratamiento quirúrgico realizado conjuntamente por los Servicios de Cirugía Plástica y Neurocirugía.
