ABSTRACT

Skin cancer is the most common malignancy in Costa Rica. Basal cell carcinoma is the type most common skin cancer. Being an epidermal neoplasia, we must be aware of the normal skin histology to differentiate the histopathologic features of carcinoma, the most common being the formation of nests of basaloid cells, peripheral palisade, and the presence of a separation or crack between tumor cells and stroma called “retraction artifact”.
