Abstract

Cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most ubiquitous cancer affecting humans worldwide [1]. It is the most common cutaneous malignancy, accounting for approximately 60–75% of all skin cancers [2]. BCC is an indolent, locally invasive, malignant epithelial neoplasm arising from the basilar layer of the epidermis [3]. It slowly progresses, with projections of micro-tumor spreading in a three-dimensional manner throughout the papillary and reticular dermis [4], and rarely leads to metastasis. BCC is thought to be composed of aberrant follicular germinative cells, also known as trichoblasts, due to its morphological and immunohistochemical similarities to hair follicle structures [5].
