Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer worldwide. However, BCC of the nipple and areola complex is rare. Men are more affected than women. Most of the cases were treated with simple excision. We report a case of BCC of the right nipple-areola complex in a 75-year-old man, treated with Mohs surgery and simple mastectomy.
