Basal cell carcinoma of the head region: therapeutical results of 350 lesions treated with Mohs micrographic surgery

Abstract

Background  Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a non-melanocytic skin tumour with a high risk of recurrence after incomplete treatment, especially the aggressive subtypes (basosquamous, micronodular and morphea BCC). The percentage of recurrence also depends on the anatomical site of the tumour. Nose–cheek fold, paranasal fold, retroauricular fold and internal canthus are considered to be critical sites.
