Your patient and Basal cell carcinoma.

BCCS (basal cell carcinomas) are a frequently encountered skin cancer. Although they have a minimal metastatic risk, they can cause considerable local destruction. Appropriate management consists of surgical excision with a 4mm border for lesions less than 2cm in diameter and follow-up for recurrences and new primaries. Risk can be reduced through education about proper preventive measures and by checking sun-exposed areas in susceptible people.
