Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is generally uncovered in sun-exposed areas, secondary to chronic unprotected UV exposure. The most common sites for nodular basal cells are the face, especially the nose, cheeks, forehead, nasolabial folds, and eyelids, with a history of crusting and friability. The commencement of BCC is 10 to 15 years from epidermal damage. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old Caucasian female who presented to her primary care with an enlarging bump on the scalp for the past five years, which became tender and friable two months before the visit. The patient was clinically diagnosed with a solitary cyst and was referred for surgical excision. The pathology of the excised specimen revealed it to be a BCC.
基底细胞癌（BCC）通常在阳光暴露部位被发现，继发于长期无防护的紫外线暴露。结节性基底细胞最常见的部位是面部，尤其是鼻子、脸颊、额头、鼻唇沟和眼睑，有结痂和易碎的病史。基底细胞癌从表皮损伤开始到发病需10至15年。在此，我们报告一例52岁的白种女性病例，她因头皮上一个逐渐增大的肿块就诊于初级保健机构，该肿块在就诊前两个月变得触痛且易碎。患者临床诊断为孤立性囊肿，并被转诊进行手术切除。切除标本的病理检查显示为基底细胞癌。
