  • Title: Axillary basal cell carcinoma: a need for full cutaneous examination.
    Author: English JC, Canchola DR, Finley EM.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1998 Apr 15; 57(8):1860-4. PubMed ID: 9575324.
    Abstract:
    Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin malignancy. While this lesion most often occurs in sun-exposed areas of the skin, it can also develop in sites that are not usually exposed to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet radiation, such as the breast, palm or groin. A periodic complete examination of the skin should be performed to ensure that atypical presentations of basal cell carcinoma are not overlooked or misdiagnosed. Treatment options include curettage and desiccation, cryosurgery, surgical excision, radiotherapy and Mohs micrographic surgery.
