Abstract | Abstract: Intravascular invasion of tumor cells can be associated with metastasis in many cancers. Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), however, rarely metastasize; therefore, the clinical impact of intravascularly invasive BCC (IVBCC) is currently unclear. Because of these facts and the rarity of IVBCC, questions have arisen on whether IVBCC truly exists. We present 4 cases of IVBCC: one case with obvious tumor islands within immunolabeled blood vessels in the context of advanced disease and 3 cases found incidentally during Mohs micrographic surgery. We discuss the difficulty in studying IVBCC, the idea that it could be due to artifact, and the lack of direct clinical-pathological correlation. Given these challenges, we propose diagnostic criteria for IVBCC to decrease ambiguity for pathological diagnosis. Such criteria may facilitate further studies on the clinical significance of IVBCC. |
