Abstract
Both basal cell carcinomas that arise in blacks and those that metastasize are rare, and development of this tumor is an uncommon, late complication of trauma. We report a case of a 70‐year‐old black man with a basal cell carcinoma arising in a gunshot wound in a shoulder and metastasizing to axillary lymph nodes. Histologically, the tumor was of the metatypical type.
