Basal cell carcinoma

A 72-year-old woman consulted for this red left cervical tumor.


Dermoscopy revealed an unspecific pattern and many arborizing blood vessels in favor of a basal cell carcinoma.

Arborizing vessels are the most typical local criteria in basal cell carcinoma.


They are rarely observed in other tumors:
  • melanocytic nevus
  • melanoma
  • seborrheic keratosis
Other cases of basal cell carcinomas:
