Large basal cell carcinoma in a congenital nevus. 1986

G A Rosenblum

A large basal cell carcinoma that developed in a previously irradiated congenital nevus is reported. Treatment was by wide surgical excision. A discussion of the possibility that congenital nevi may predispose to tumors other than melanoma is considered. The causes of basal cell carcinoma are reviewed.

D002280	Carcinoma, Basal Cell	A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
