A 71-year-old man presented an erythematous lesion on his back. Dermoscopy revealed
arborizing blood vessels and
many ulcerations in favor of a basal cell carcinoma. A biopsy was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of
superficial basal cell carcinoma.
Ulcerations are frequent in BCC and are significantly specific in the absence of other signs for a melanoma.
