Three Different Types of Skin Neoplasms on The Face
Abstract
Skin cancers are mainly subclasified into two types: melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). There are some reported cases of multiple BCC and SCC of the skin in the literature. However, to our knowledge there is no case report about melanoma and NMSC in the same patient at the same time. Here, the authors report a female patient who had simultaneouslly BCC, SCC and lentigo maligna on her face.
