ABSTRACT

The most common skin malignancy is basal cell carcinoma. Sun exposed areas are most commonly affected sites in the body because sun exposure is the main risk factor. Rarely, the nipple areola complex can be affected. There are several dermscopic features in basal cell carcinoma, such as arborizing vessels and spoke-wheel areas. However, a yellow lobulated structure is a dermoscopic feature that is unusual to be seen in basal cell carcinoma. Here, we report a case of basal cell carcinoma over the nipple areola complex that showed this rare dermoscopic feature.

Keywords: Basal cell carcinoma, Nipple areola complex, Dermoscopy
