Pigmented and Morphea Like Basal Cell Epothelioma
Abstract
- A black pigmented ulcerative, 1cm x 3cm nodule was developed in a 43 year old woman since 5 years ago. Clinically, it resembled the malignant melanoma and histopathological study revealed the combination of pigmented and morphea like basal cell epithelioma. Wide and deep excision down to oral mucosa with frozen section of free margin and primary closure had performed to bring the excellent cosmetic outlook, Both the pigmented basal cell epithelioma and morphea like basal cell epithelioma are reported rarely, however, to the best of our review of the English literature, this is the first of reported case of combinated type of pigmented and morphea like basal cell epitheliorna. We are now on close observation of the patient for recurrence and metastasis of the tumor.
