Abstract
|
|
|
|
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in humans. It usually develops on sun-exposed areas of the head and neck but can occur anywhere on the body. The various clinical features include nodules, ulcers, bleeding, crust, or scale. Thus, it is important to distinguish BCC from other diseases with similar clinical features. The umbilicus is one of the sun-protected sites where BCC rarely develops. Herein, we describe 71-year-old woman with umbilical BCC initially misdiagnosed as pyoderma.
