Abstract
We reported three cases of minimal basal cell carcinoma (BCC) whose size were less than 2 mm in diameter. Case 1, a 45-year-old woman, presented with a small, black nodule, 1.5 mm in diameter, on her cheek. Case 2, a 79-year-old man, presented with a small, black nodule, 2 mm in diameter, on his cheek. Case 3, a 58-year-old man, presented with a small, black nodule, 2 mm in diameter, on the bridge of his nose. Each tumor was removed with a margin of 1-2 mm, which is narrower than usually recommended for treatment of BCC. All three tumors showed typical dermascopic and histopathological findings corresponding to solid type BCC. No recurrences have been observed for more than two years. Dermoscopic examination is useful for early diagnosis of BCC, allowing even minute BCC lesions to be removed when they are small.
