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.
基底细胞癌（BCC）是最常见的皮肤恶性肿瘤。它最常出现在头颈部暴露于阳光的区域。乳头部位发生基底细胞癌极为罕见，尽管报告的病例数量一直在稳步增加。它有向区域淋巴结转移的潜能；因此，与其他部位的基底细胞癌相比，预计其病程更具侵袭性。因此，早期诊断和治疗该区域的基底细胞癌很重要。英文文献中报道了39例乳头乳晕复合体（NAC）的基底细胞癌病例。我们报告了另外一例位于乳头的基底细胞癌病例，该病例为一名60岁男性，其唯一的临床症状是乳头增大。
