Basal Cell Carcinoma Recurrence after Excision in a Patient with Complex Cardiac history: A Case Report

<p>Basal cell carcinoma is a subtype of keratinocyte carcinoma; a non-melanoma skin cancer which occurs commonly in Caucasians, although it does occur with increased prevalence in Caucasians, patients with skin of color suffer from elevated morbidity and mortality when diagnosed with skin cancer. Extensive research has been established to identify the various mechanisms through which abnormal cell proliferation occurs in the human body; genetic mutations such as hedgehog signal pathway through which patched (PTCH) protein which function as a receptor and binds to the hedgehog receptor complex in the cell membrane have been directly instrumental in the pathogenesis of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC).</p>
