Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent malignancy, with excision as the best therapeutic approach. Incomplete excision of nonmelanoma skin cancer is a clinical indicator of the surgical technique performed. This retrospective study of 292 patients with BCC assessed the rate of incomplete excision in a tertiary referral hospital in southern Spain and its relationship with tumor location as well as histologic and surgical features.
