Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cancer in humans. It appears most frequently in areas of the body routinely exposed to light. Basal cell carcinoma which is entirely or partially located on the areolar-nipple complex is a rare phenomenon. We report a case of basal cell carcinoma of the areolar-nipple complex in a 73-year-old man.
