Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer which is also known as Rodent Ulcer or Trichoblastic Carinomas. Howevver, it rarely metastatise and difficult to distinguish from various other skin adnexal tumors because of complexity and variety of skin tumors. The incidence world wide is > 100/100,000 being compared to India which is 25.9% / 100,000. Its a five years retrospective study from september 2004 to september 2007 i.e. 7 years. The results are maximum in the age group of 40-49 years of age and out of 21 cases maximum numbers are in between 60-69 years of age i.e. 8 cases. The foremost site prediliction was in eyelid followed by nose > forehead > cheek > ear > Scalp > and Post auricular region when compared with 12 cases of males and 9 cases of females. The most common histopathological pattern was found in Solid type of Bsal Cell Carcinoma comapred with Adenoid variant , Infiltrative variant , Basosquamous variant , Keratotic variant and pigmented varient. Presently, compared with cell morphology most nodular Basal Cell Cancer can be diagnosed clinically when compared with Intradermal Nevus, Sebacaemoas , Fibrous papules, Early acne scars and Hypertrophic scarrings. Therefore, the present study emphazises the various patterns of Basal Cell Carcinomas in the geographical location in and around the city.
