Carotid Stenosis and Skin Cancer in the Surgical Incision Area

Mustafa Karacelik

72-years-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack. A mildly hemorrhagic lesion diagnosed by basosquamous cell carcinoma was detected. Carotid stent was implanted into carotid artery. Possibility of malignancy in these types of lesions located in the surgical incision area in patients with advanced aged should always be considered, and endovascular treatment options should be preferred instead of surgery.
