손바닥에 발생한 기저세포암 = Basal Cell Carcinoma Arising on the Palm

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It typically develops on sun-exposed and hair-containing areas of the body, such as the head and neck regions. The occurrence on the palms and soles is very rare. A 66-year-old Korean woman presented with a red elliptical ulcerative nodule on her left palm. Biopsy revealed basaloid cell mass and nests in the dermis with basal cells containing dark and elongated nuclei. She was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, and wide excision with full-thickness skin graft was performed. To the best of our knowledge, no case of basal cell carcinoma on the palm without basal cell nevus syndrome has been reported in Korean literature. Herein, we report this case owing to its rare occurrence on such location. (Korean J Dermatol 2020;58(7):480∼482)
