AB Basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC)  is  the  most  common  nonmelanoma  skin  cancer.  BCC  can  present  anywhere  but  is  most  common  on  sun-exposed  areas.  The  typical  lesion  begins  as  a  pearly  papule  with  telangiectasias  (nodular  BCC).  The  lesion  may  ulcerate  and  bleed.  Other  forms  of  BCC  include  superficial  BCC  (pink,  scaly  plaque  with  pearly  border),  pigmented  BCC  (appears  as  a  nodular  or  superficial  BCC  with  dark  brown  to  black  center),  and  morpheaform  BCC  (appears  as  a  rapidly  expanding  scar).
