Abstract:
A basal cell carcinoma developed in the forehead of a 57-year-old man at the scar site from a blunt trauma that happened 10 months previously. The patient had never been noted to have premalignant or other malignant skin lesions. The significance of injury in the etiology of basal cell carcinoma is discussed.
