A Case of Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Sole: Diagnosis Supported by Dermoscopic Features / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent skin cancer, generally located in hair-bearing, sunlight exposed areas. BCC usually occurs on the head and neck, but very rarely on the sole. A 45-year-old man visited our department with 1 cm sized erythematous patch and erosion. The lesion has been enlarged over a period of 10 years. Dermoscopic examination showed arborizing vessels and blue-gray blotch. Herein, we report a rare case of BCC of the sole with consideration of its origin, cause and dermoscopic findings.
