Basal cell carcinoma is a cancer of the basal keratinocytes found in the skin epidermis. People with basal cell carcinoma often have a history of chronic sunlight exposure.

These nodular growths are often translucent, growing slowly over a period of years.


Basal cell carcinoma can ulcerate, become pigmented, scale, or may develop localized invasion.
