title: Differentiation of basal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Basal cell carcinoma is undoubtedly the most common malignancy in light-skinned people. Because of the high incidence of this type of carcinoma, physicians should be familiar with its many clinical presentations. An understanding of the behavior, multiple histologic variations, and available therapeutic modalities is of great value in the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.
