Abstract:
Cystic basal cell carcinoma is an uncommon histologic variant of basal cell carcinoma. Degeneration of tumor cells causes cystic space, in which mucin is secreted from the adjacent tumor cells. We report a case of cystic basal cell carcinoma with prominent cystic formation occurring in a 52-year old women on the right cheek.
