Summary
Definition
O CBC de pele é uma neoplasia comum, relacionada à exposição solar.[1][2][Figure caption and citation for the preceding image starts]: Carcinoma basocelular nodular na região malar, secundário a danos solares difusos com elastose solar importanteDo acervo do Prof. Robert A. Schwartz [Citation ends].
O CBC pode ser localmente agressivo, mas raramente produz metástases. Embora alguns fatores possam resultar em um comportamento mais agressivo, na maioria dos casos, a detecção precoce e o tratamento transformaram as extensas neoplasias destrutivas locais invasivas em algo do passado.[3]
