Abstract
An 81-year-old patient was presented for three nodular apigmented lesions located on the face.
Dermoscopic examination showed a dermal nevus located on the right cheek, displaying a globular pattern, while two other lesions showed a different dermoscopic pattern. The first one, clinically apigmented nodular lesion, 1.8 cm in diameter, located on the left nasolabial fold, revealed numerous brownish dots and globules, associated with arborizing vessels corresponding to nodular basal cell carcinoma, while the dermoscopic examination of another apigmented nodular lesion located on the left side of radix of the nose revealed erosion on the top of the lesion and delicate short telangiectasia corresponding to another nodular basal cell carcinoma. The excision was performed of those two lesions, and the diagnosis of two nodular basal cell carcinoma was confirmed by pathohistology.
