Basal cell carcinoma in children. Case report.
Clinical and pathoanatomic features of two children with basal cell carcinoma, an extremely uncommon disease in childhood, are reported. Clinically these lesions had a benign appearance, similar to a foreign body granuloma and an intradermal naevus, respectively, but histological examination showed a picture typical of basal cell carcinoma. The tumours were radically treated and no recurrence occurred during an observation time of 12 and 42 months, respectively.
