The lesion begins as a pearly white or pink, similar to dome-shaped papule with a Dell warts or dermal nevus. The mass extends peripherally. The lesion may remain flat. Traction on the surrounding skin accentuates the pearly border. Telangiectasia are prominent and easily recognizable increases through the thin skin of the lesion. The growth pattern is irregular, forming an oval mass and the surface can multilobular. The center frequently ulcerated and bleed and then collects crust and scale. Ulcerated BCCs were previously referred rodent ulcers. Ulcerated areas heal with scarring, and patients often take to improve their conditions. This cycle of growth, ulceration and healing extends further than the mass of peripheral and deeper. Masses can be achieved is of enormous size. BCC can present as a nonhealing leg ulcers. Biopsy samples should be taken from leg ulcers, that do not respond to treatment. The tissue mass of a nodular BCC has a distinctive texture that can be estimated during the curettage or biopsy. It has poor cohesive strength and collapses or fails, when manipulated with a curette. This is an important diagnostic feature, which supports the clinical impression during the biopsy.
