Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin tumour, comprising 80% of skin cancers. Pigmented basal cell carcinoma is an atypical clinical and histopathological variant. We report a case of pigmented basal cell carcinoma in a 72 year old lady with complaints of multiple skin lesions over the face. Fine needle aspiration cytology from the lesion reported as basal cell carcinoma. A wide local excision with rotational flap reconstruction was performed under local anaesthesia.
