ABSTRACT

The most common cutaneous malignant tumor, basal cell carcinoma derives from non-keratinizing cells from the epidermal basal layer. The four most common clinical variants are pigmented, nodular, superficial and morpheaform, and the leading risk factor is exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In behavior it is locally invasive and destructive; consequently, any delay in diagnosis could have significant aesthetic and functional implications, as well as steep public health costs.
Dermoscopy allows not only to detect incipient carcinomas, but aids in the differential diagnosis of difficult lesions, determines surgical margins and evaluates the response to nonsurgical treatments.
