Basal cell carcinoma in a young woman: A case report %K Carcinoma %K Basal cell %K Skin Cancer %R %X Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant tumor of epithelial cells that is composed of cells similar to those in the basal area of the epidermis and its appendages. Ninety- five percent of individuals with BCC are between 40 and 79 years old. It rarely occurs in younger individuals. Herein, a 20- year- old woman with type III skin, who had a BCC on her chin is presented. Since the clinical features and age of onset of this lesion were not typical for BCC , correct diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. %U https://www.iranjd.ir/article_101123_e32b41289e96c87996ae51de411c8688.pdf
