Atypical Site of BCC Reported in a Saudi Female: A Case Report

BCC is the most prevalent form of skin cancer; thus, it is important to recognize that it poses a significant global health challenge. Various multifactorial risk factors can contribute to the development of BCC such as having fair skin, aging, chronic sun exposure, and tanning beds. Typically, exposed body parts are the frequent location identified for BCC. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old Saudi female, who presented with an incidental pigmented lesion over her left axillary fold with features of suspicious of BCC.

Abstract

BCC is the most prevalent form of skin cancer; thus, it is important to recognize that it poses a significant global health challenge. Various multifactorial risk factors can contribute to the development of BCC such as having fair skin, aging, chronic sun exposure, and tanning beds. Typically, exposed body parts are the frequent location identified for BCC. Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old Saudi female, who presented with an incidental pigmented lesion over her left axillary fold with features of suspicious of BCC.
