Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered to be the most common cancer in humans. It has a slow growth rhythm, and for this reason, metastases are rare. For our retrospective study, we selected 180 patients from those who underwent surgery for a variety of skin tumours between January 2019 and August 2022 and whose histopathological examination revealed basal cell carcinoma. All surgeries were performed by plastic surgeons at the "St. John" hospital in Bucharest. The aim of this article is to provide observational data regarding BCC-in terms of histopathology and diagnostic and therapeutic management and to integrate these data into the current knowledge of this pathology.

Keywords: basal cell carcinoma; skin cancer; skin surgery.
