| basal cell c. |
the most common form of skin cancer, consisting of an epithelial tumor of the skin originating from neoplastic differentiation of basal cells, rarely metastatic but locally invasive and aggressive; it usually occurs as one or several small, pearly nodules or plaques with central depressions on the face of an older adult, particularly on a sun-exposed area of persons with fair skin. It has been divided into numerous and variable subtypes on the basis of clinical and histological characteristics; the more constant subtypes include nodulo-ulcerative, morphea-like, cystic, and superficial.
