Abstract

The article discusses a case of basal cell carcinoma on the neophallus of a transgender patient who underwent gender-affirming surgery. The patient had a history of hormone replacement therapy and other medical conditions. The article highlights the importance of considering the risk of skin cancer in patients undergoing gender-affirming surgeries and the need for long-term follow-up and early detection. The study raises questions about including skin cancer risk in the consent process for such surgeries and the role of dermatologists in presurgical assessments. [Extracted from the article]
