Features Causing Confusion between Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Clinical Diagnosis.

Conclusion: SCC has a higher tendency to be clinically misdiagnosed as BCC than vice versa. Pigmentation and rolled border are factors causing misdiagnosis of SCC as BCC and BCC may be misdiagnosed as SCC in the presence of scaling. Dermoscopy seems to improve the clinical diagnostic accuracy but has limitations for some ambiguous lesions. PMID: 29386834 [PubMed]
