Basal cell carcinoma

Japanese: 基底細胞癌 - きていさいぼうがん(英語表記)basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma
A type of skin cancer. It is a solid white-yellow tumor that gradually expands centrifugally, with the center sinking and becoming ulcerated. This is what causes ulcerative ulcers. In Asian people, black pigmentation is often seen. In low-grade malignant stages, it is sometimes called basal cell epithelioma. Taking into account clinical and histological findings, it is classified into nodular ulcer type, scarring flat type, superficial type, morphea type, destructive type, and Pincus type tumor. The most common sites are the face (around the nose and ears, eyelids, etc.), followed by the head, and it does not occur on the palms or soles. It grows invasively in the peripheral area, forming deep giant ulcers, and may extend to bones and other areas, but metastasis to lymph nodes and other organs is rarely observed. It occurs most frequently from middle age onwards, but a special type occurs on the face and trunk from birth to adolescence.
