Abstract EN
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy of the skin.
It is most frequently seen on the sun-exposed areas of the head and neck region.
Occurrence of BCC on the nipple is extremely rare, though the number of the reported cases has been increasing steadily.
It has metastatic potential to regional lymph nodes; therefore a more aggressive course can be expected when compared to BCCs located at other sites.
Hence, early diagnosis and treatment of BCCs located on this region is of importance.
There are 39 reported cases of BCC of nipple-areola complex (NAC) in the English literature.
We present an additional case of BCC located on the nipple, presenting with enlargement of the nipple as a sole clinical finding in a 60-year-old man.
