Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have many treatment options either by dermatologist, with excision or radiotherapy. A 78-year-old woman had a BCC removed surgically, and 18 years after she had a subcutaneously located tumour extirpated at the same location. The result of pathological examination was BCC located atypically in the subcutis. Iatrogenic seeding from primary excision or non-radical primary excision may explain this presentation. This is only the second report of subcutaneously located BCC.
