Basal cell carcinoma still divides into some types


Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer type, yet it rarely metastasizes to other organ. Basal Cell Carcinoma divides into three groups, based on location and therapy difficulty:

• Superficial basal cell carcinoma
  Superficial basal cell carcinoma some might consider to be equivalent to "in-situ". It is the only type of basal cell cancer that can be effectively treated with topical chemotherapy.
• Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma
  Unlike superficial basal cell carcinoma, its more difficult to treat with conservative methods. Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma often encompasses morpheaform and micronodular basal cell cancer.
• Nodular basal cell cancer
  Nodular basal cell cancer is essentially including most the remaining categories of basal cell cancer. It is not unusual to encounter morphologic features of several variants of basal cell cancer in the same tumor.

Basal cell carcinomas also divide into another classification, includes these following types:

1. Nodular basal cell carcinoma (Classic basal cell carcinoma)
2. Cystic basal cell carcinoma
3. Cicatricial basal cell carcinoma (Morpheaform basal cell carcinoma, Morphoeic basal cell carcinoma)
4. Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma
5. Micronodular basal cell carcinoma
6. Superficial basal cell carcinoma (Superficial multicentric basal cell carcinoma)
7. Pigmented basal cell carcinoma
8. Rodent ulcer (Jacobi ulcer)
9. Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus
10. Polypoid basal cell carcinoma
11. Pore-like basal cell carcinoma
12. Aberrant basal cell carcinoma
