The patient had no history of arsenic intake, irradiation, herb medication, or exposure to chemical gases. No signifi cant past, personal and family history were observed. Histopathology revealed BCC. The patient was managed with wide excision of the lesion and then full thickness skin graft. At present, the patient is stable.
