Dermoscopy of Vulvar Pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent nonmelanoma skin neoplasm in Caucasians. BCC is mostly located in photo-exposed areas; however, it can be observed in nonexposed areas such as armpits, genital and perianal regions, palms and soles, and in oral mucosa. Vulvar BCC is infrequent, being about 1% of all BCCs and 2%–4% of vulvar neoplasms. The dermoscopic aspect of BCC in this location has been described in very few cases.
