ABSTRACT
Introduction: basal cell carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of the lining epithelium. Its appearance is closely linked to exposure to sunlight. Although it constitutes 60 % of skin tumors, it is considered a malignant neoplasm with a good prognosis.Objective: to present the case of an HIV/AIDS patient with facial basal cell carcinoma treated with HeberFERON®.
Case presentation: a 70-year-old white male patient who attended the maxillofacial surgery consultation in February 2016 to remove a three-year-old lesion on the nose. He had a history of high blood pressure, had been an HIV carrier for 16 years and had undergone surgery on five occasions for presenting basal cell carcinomas of the face. He refused surgical treatment due to complications from previous operations. For this reason, treatment with HeberFERON® was suggested, an option that he accepted. After four years, during the consultation to verify the evolution of the disease, the patient was cured and expressed his satisfaction with the procedure.
Conclusions: with the use of HeberFERON®, complete regression of the facial basal cell carcinoma that he suffered was achieved in this patient, and the performance of a non-consensual surgical act was avoided. The treatment had excellent oncological, aesthetic and psychological results, with minimal complications. The contribution of this work lies in highlighting the option of drug treatment with HeberFERON® in those cases in which patients with basal cell carcinoma do not consent to surgical intervention, with excellent results in an immunodeficient patient.
