Abstract
A case of a 34-year-old Caucasian male is presented with a basal cell carcinoma deeply infiltrating the structures of the neck, including skeletal muscles and reaching the parotid gland. Radical surgical removal under meticulous histological control was performed. 18 months postoperatively, the patient is still free of recurrence. Thirty years ago the patient had undergone radiotherapy for an infantile haemangioma of the skin of the neck. The effects of this treatment when given in childhood in the aetiology of a basal cell carcinoma are discussed
