“…BCC arising from the umbilicus is extremely rare and only nine cases have been reported (Table ) . In general, a history of skin trauma, surgical procedure, or chronic inflammation can predispose a patient to the development of BCC . The findings for some of the reported umbilical BCC included association of an epidermal inclusion cyst, simultaneous occurrence of lymphoma, and a surgical scar caused by laparoscopy .…”

Case 3 did have a postoperative scar around the umbilicus; however, the scar had no association with the umbilical BCC.…”

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common malignant skin tumor. However, BCC that arise at the umbilicus is rare. We present three cases of umbilical BCC. Each BCC was excised at a different depth level, and all deep surgical margins were negative. All patients had no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up periods (12, 24, and 52 months). Reviewing the reported cases of umbilical BCC, the BCC cells did not seem to invade into the umbilical scar in most cases, and the deepest invasion levels of tumor cells were up to the middle layer of the subcutaneous tissue. However, the dermatological surgeons have to consider the possibility of surgical excision down to and including the umbilical attachment to the peritoneum, and intraoperative margin assessment should be necessary to avoid the risk of excessive or incomplete excision.

“…1,4 BCC arising in surgical scars is exceedingly rare, with only 11 prior cases reported ( Table 1). [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] They have occurred in patients aged 41 to 69, and the latency period ranges from 9 months to 67 years after the original surgery. BCCs are more commonly reported in vaccination sites and burn scars.…”
