Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is a malignant skin tumor that arises from a pluripotential cell in the basal layer of the epidermis or appendages Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cancer in Caucasians and its incidence is increasing [4, 5].According to Cancer Pathology Registry 2003-2004, in Egypt,BCC constitute 45.5 of malignant skin tumors[6]. Since previous records are few for comparison,this reflects the need for a cooperative work of multicenter studies all over Egypt [7].Although mortality rates are low, BCCs may grow and cause severe local destruction. Metastasis occurs in less than 1%[21, 24] It is clear that the incidence of BCCs is increasing.
