Basal cell epithelioma

This report describes a basal cell epithelioma found on the lid of an unusually young white male. The epidemiology, pathophysiology and histology are discussed outlining clinical implications. Clinical appearance and management is reviewed highlighting complications. Conclusions are that age is not an excluding factor in the differential diagnosis of basal cell epithelioma and that any anomalous growth in the head and neck areas should be treated as suspicious until proven otherwise by a biopsy.
