A 73-year old woman consulted for this ulcerated tumor of her forehead. The main clinical diagnosis was a
basal cell carcinoma.
Dermoscopy confirmed easily the diagnosis, showing
ulceration and many
blue ovoïd nests.
Blue ovoïd nests (or
blue-gray ovoïd nests) are well circumscribed areas, larger than
blue-gray globules and often associate
. Their presence is a good dermoscopic sign for a basal cell carcinoma.
