Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is an exceedingly rare cause of spinal metastatic disease for which the treatment algorithm is poorly defined. We present a positive patient outcome after treatment of T8 metastatic basal with posterior decompression and fusion followed by later anterior reconstruction, in addition to targeted radiation therapy and pharmacologic therapy. In general, a personalized and comprehensive treatment approach should be used, incorporating surgical, oncologic, and pharmacologic methods as able. Moreover, primary preventive medical and mental health care can help prevent delayed presentation and increased access to timely care.
