Perineural infiltration in basal cell carcinomas.
4376 basal and squamous cell carcinomas were dealt with over a period of 100 months. 76.6% of these were basal cell carcinomas. Perineural spread was noted in 0.178% of basal cell lesions and in all examples was found in recurrent tumours, which were predominantly in the preauricular and malar areas in this series.
