Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma BCC is one of the most common skin neoplasms. In our country, because of its location, it represents a pathological entity of great importance, due to the high ultraviolet radiation, that is inversely proportional to the geographical latitude we are in Ecuador. This paper objective is to review the key features that distinguish basal cell carcinoma, and update knowledge, including the available evidence on histopathological findings, immunohistochemical markers and metastasis in this pathology.
