Abstract

The most frequently occurring malignant neoplasm of the skin is basal cell carcinoma (BCC). It is seen most often around the head and neck area. Predisposing factors include exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and inorganic arsenic, trauma, chronic wounds, immune dysfunction and plaques, such as sebaceous nevus.While squamous cell carcinoma is frequently encountered as a result of chronic wounds, silk fistulas and scar formation, cases of BCC are very rare. In incidences of BCC developing along the incision line, the treatment involves making a large surgical excision. Problems related to the incision site are most often observed in operations conducted at surgical clinics, with the most common cause being suture reactions. In cases of chronic ulceration and discharge, a diagnosis of BCC should be considered and a biopsy should be conducted
