Diagnosis is initially clinical but biopsy of the lesion may be required. Mortality is low as the tumour rarely metastasises. Recurrent tumours have poorer cure rates than primary tumours. Basal cell carcinoma must be differentiated from Molluscum contagiosum, intradermal naevus, fibrous papule, psoriasis, discoid eczema, solar keratosis melanoma....read more »

Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequently seen skin cancer. It arises from basal cells of the epidermis and pilosebaceous units. Clinically it is divided into the following types: nodular, ulcerative, superficial, multicentric, erythematous, and sclerosing or morphea-like.. More than 95% of these carcinomas occur in patients over 40. They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck and the remaining 15% on the trunk and extremities. Basal cell carcinoma usually grows in a slow and indolent fashion. However, if untreated, the tumor may invade the subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle and bone. Distant metastases are rare. Excision, curettage and irradiation cure most basal cell carcinomas. --2002 - (Source - Diseases Database)
