Abstract:
Early evaluation of persistent perianal lesions is essential even when symptoms appear mild or patients feel embarrassed to seek care. Pigmented basal cell carcinoma in this region is rare and may mimic melanoma clinically. Ongoing histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment is crucial to ensure correct diagnosis and timely surgical management for optimal outcomes.
