Comments:
Basal cell carcinoma is a tumor of the elderly population, usually seen after the age of 60 years. However, in the setting of xeroderma pigmentosum, albinism, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and Bazex syndrome as well as in sunny climates, it may present at a much younger age.

The tumor is related to excessive exposure to sunlight and is most frequently seen on face. Less common sites include neck, trunk, and upper extremities.
