Basal Cell Carcinoma in the Nasal Vestibule.

We present a case of a basal cell carcinoma located in the nasal vestibule. In presenting this case, we would like to emphasize the importance of attentive full skin examinations, both by physicians and patients, that include observation of sun-protected areas, as skin cancers such as basal cell carcinomas may occur in these unusual areas. In addition, BCCs have been reported in the literature to have occurred in the interdigital area of the foot, the female and male nipples, the axillae, and the genital and perianal areas.3,4,5,6,7,8 J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(3):333-334 doi:10.36849/JDD.2020.4517.
