Zusammenfassung

Basalzellkarzinome sind die häufigsten primären kutanen malignen Neoplasien. Die Diagnose eines Basalzellkarzinoms stellt für Pathologen und Dermatopathologen eine entsprechend häufige und täglich vorkommende Routine dar. Ziel dieses Übersichtsartikels ist die klinische und histopathologische Darstellung der häufigsten Subtypen des Basalzellkarzinoms, und es werden die seltenen Formvarianten sowie deren Differenzialdiagnosen erläutert.

Abstract

Basal cell carcinomas are the most common primary cutaneous malignant neoplasms. The diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma represents a common and routine task for pathologists and dermatopathologists. The aim of this review is the clinical and histopathological presentation of the most common subtypes of basal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, the rare variants of basal cell carcinoma and their differential diagnoses are also discussed.
