AB Cutaneous  epithelial  cancers  [nonmelanoma  skin  cancer  (NMSC)]  originate  most  commonly  in  the  epidermal  germinative  keratinocytes  or  adnexal  structures.  The  two  principal  NMSCs  are  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC)  and  squamous  cell  carcinoma  (SCC).  SCC  often  has  its  origin  in  an  identifiable  in  situ  lesion  that  can  be  treated  before  frank  invasion  occurs.  In  contrast,  in  situ  BCC  is  not  known,  but  minimally  invasive  "superficial"  BCCs  are  common.
