Locally advanced skin cancer in an albino: a treatment dilemma.

Case Presentation We report on a 27 year old albino woman, who was admitted on the 20th May 2010 to our facility at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital with a left-sided pre-auricular ulcerating mass suspected to be originating from the skin. The mass developed three weeks prior to admission and was progressively growing in size. Three days before admission she also noticed ulceration and discharge from the wound. There was no associated pain, headache, anorexia, weight loss, night sweats, dizziness, change in hearing or other masses. She had not used any sun protective measures – sun screen agents, hats, sunglasses when outdoors – owing to financial constraints.
