| description | Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer and has a direct relationship with chronic sun exposure. Other risk factors
include fair skin and eyes, freckling, family history, genetic disorders, immunosuppression, ionizing radiation, arsenic, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
BCC usually progresses slowly. Lesions are usually seen over sun-exposed areas, which are most commonly on the face and neck.
Local invasion may occur, but it rarely metastasizes. The incidence of BCC peaks in the seventh decade of life. BCC is an uncommon lesion
during childhood, youth, and pregnancy. It has rarely been reported during childhood. BCC seen during childhood can be inherited with
diseases such as xeroderma pigmentosum, albinism, Bazex syndrome, and basal cell nevus syndrome or after high-dose radiotherapy. In this
study, we present the cases of a 14-year-old girl with BCC on the right popliteal region and a 23-year-old pregnant woman with BCC on the
nasal tip. Both patients underwent total excision, and there were neither recurrence nor any complication during the follow-up |
