ABSTRACT
Basal cell carcinoma(BCC)s are most frequently found on the sun-exposed skin of the head and neck regions. Rarely, BCCs occur in odd sites such as the scrotum, vulva, perineum, nipple, and axilla without any apparent carcinogenic factor such as arsenic, radiation, chronic ulceration or scars. Genital BCC accounts for fewer than 1% of all BCCs and vulvar BCCs represent fewer than 5% of all vulvar neoplasms. We report a case of BCC arising on the mons pubis clinically mimicking malignant melanoma, which presents with 2cm sized, deep purple colored protruding mass.
