Clues to primary vismodegib resistance lie in histology and genetics

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignant neoplasm. However, there are multiple BCC subtypes that share clinical features while demanding different management. We present a case of a woman with hundreds of BCCs throughout her body that were resistant to vismodegib and without other features of basal cell nevus syndrome.
