Mostly superficial BCC localised to the trunk. Superficial BCC is often not recognised or misdiagnosed.
Sharply but irregularly circumscribed, reddish-brown, discreetly scaling or crusted, slightly raised plaques with shiny, pearly margins. Superficial basaliomas tend not to ulcerate. Pigmentation is possible. Patients often describe localised pruritus. Superficial BCC is characterised by slow and mainly horizontal growth.
Mostly trunk, otherwise also on the extremities.
Multicentric, basaloid, epithelial tumour cells growing from the epidermis into the papillary body. Usually palisading and cleavage can be detected.
