Basal Cell Carcinoma: Atypical Presentation and Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, especially in Caucasians. The head is the most common location, however, in exceptional cases it can occur in areas where there is little sun exposure, it is usually aggressive in most cases. Each time there is an increase in the youngest basal cell, it presents different types: Nodular, Superficial, Populations of incidence. Pigmented, Morpheiform or Infiltrating or Sclerosing clinical carcinoma and Fibroepithelioma. It is usually characterized as a locally invasive, aggressive and destructive carcinoma with a high capacity to metastasize. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the lesion, however in advanced cases management will have to be multidisciplinary.
