Case Report
Basal Cell Carcinoma
A 69-year-old man with a history notable for nonmelanoma skin cancer and being a nonsmoker sought dermatologic evaluation for a persistent, nonhealing lesion on his right lower lip (Figure). The lesion, evolving over the course of a year, exhibited gradual growth and occasional bleeding upon trauma. Upon examination, a 2.5-cm x 2.3-cm nodule with ulceration and crust was identified on the right lower lip, extending to the mucosal surface. A shave biopsy was performed from the nonulcerated area.
