A day for BCC's

This lesion was found on a general examination of a 71 yr old gentleman.  Features that make it likely to be a BCC are the serpentine blood vessels, the white lines and the dark pigment clods
Histology - Macronodular Basal Cell Carcinoma

Same man and another lesion likely to be a BCC.  A good example of the white lines commonly seen in a BCC.   Histology - Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma BCC

This lesion has been growing for many months. Clinically it is has a defined raised margin and the blood vessels are what you see in a BCC.  Incision was from the edge of the nose into the lip margin
Histology - Basal Cell Carcinoma BCC invading dermis - completely excised

One week post op.  The swelling of the lip is related to her chewing her lip while the anaesthetic was still working
