Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma in an Unusual Groin Location: A Rare Presentation

2024Open accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent skin malignancy with a constant rise in its incidence. It affects typically the head and neck of elderly patients. However, the literature in English shows its occurrence in many uncommon locations. In our work, we report a case of basal cell carcinoma occurring in the groin region in a 66-year-old male patient, with no particular medical history. We also discuss through a literature review, the characteristics of this common neoplasm when it occurs in the groin and in other atypical locations.
