Factors Contributing to the Incomplete and Close Margin Excision of Head and Neck Basal Cell Carcinoma ( <scp>BCC</scp> )

There is increased risk of incomplete excision of BCCs with aggressive subtype, location on the ear, and greater lesion diameter and depth of invasion. Careful screening of patients with these high-risk factors may help reduce incomplete or close margin excisions.
