Basal cell carcinomas of the areola-nipple complex: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and unique anatomical location. This subtype of basal cell carcinoma necessitates meticulous management to address potential recurrence and metastasis. Surgical excision with clear margins remains the cornerstone treatment for basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex, while alternative modalities such as radiation therapy, Mohs surgery, and systemic therapies may be considered in specific cases. However, optimal management strategies remain contentious, with varying opinions on the necessity of aggressive surgical intervention to minimize recurrence and metastasis risks. Additionally, the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines complicates clinical decision-making. Herein, we present a rare case of basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex in a 47-year-old woman with a notable medical history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and untreated psychosis, alongside a family history of breast cancer in her aunt. The patient exhibited a non-regressing ulceration on the right areolar region of the breast, persisting for approximately 10 years and progressively extending over time. Following surgical excision, a favorable post-therapeutic course was observed during follow-up. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and nuanced management considerations inherent in basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex, underscoring the imperative for tailored treatment approaches.
