Basal cell carcinoma of skin

Basal cell carcinoma of skin is a common, slow-growing cutaneous malignancy arising from the pluripotential epithelial cells within the basal layer of the epidermis and hair follicles It predominantly affects the integumentary system of older adults and fair-skinned individuals, most frequently presenting in chronologically sun-damaged anatomical areas such as the head, neck, and extremities Pathophysiologically driven by cumulative ultraviolet radiation exposure and aberrant Hedgehog signaling ...

It predominantly affects the integumentary system of older adults and fair-skinned individuals, most frequently presenting in chronologically sun-damaged anatomical areas such as the head, neck, and extremities Pathophysiologically driven by cumulative ultraviolet radiation exposure and aberrant Hedgehog signaling pathway activation, lesions classically manifest as pearly, translucent papules or plaques with telangiectasias, rolled borders, or central ulceration
