Correlating Clinical, Histopathological, and Dermoscopic features of Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Study Analysis

Ankitha R N, Ambresh S Badad, Isha Gupta

Abstract: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) stands as the most prevalent form of skin cancer accounting for approximately 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers worldwide. Despite it?s generally indolent nature and low metastatic potential, prompt identification is essential to mitigate local tissue destruction. BCC manifests in diverse clinical subtypes often posing diagnostic challenges when differentiating from other cutaneous lesions. At the microscopic level, BCC is characterized by nests of basaloid cells exhibiting peripheral palisading. Dermoscopy serves as a valuable diagnostic tool revealing distinctive features like arborizing vessels and blue-gray ovoid nests which frequently correspond to specific histological patterns. The integration of clinical observations, dermoscopic findings and histopathological analysis yields a more comprehensive diagnosis guiding appropriate therapeutic approaches.
