Abstract

Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor of skin. The tumour is commonly seen on nose, eyelids, at the inner canthus of eyes and behind the ears. Histological diagnosis and classifying BCCs into histological variants not only provide important information regarding low- and high-risk types of the malignancy but also has got a prognostic implication. Thus, reporting histopathological variant of any tumor including BCCs is essential in view of planning patient management.

Keywords: Basal cell carcinoma, adenoid, pigmented.
