“…This case presented as a hypopigmented macule on the glabella and had been treated for years as vitiligo with topical steroids. The authors mention that this type of BCC can be misdiagnosed as various depigmented conditions [ 6 ]. With this case report, we emphasize that a micronodular BCC might resemble a vitiliginous lesion, underscoring the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion in the diagnosis.…”

A 63-year-old woman with light skin and a history of chronic sun damage presented with a painless, pale macule on her nasal tip. A punch biopsy was performed due to concerns about skin conditions like vitiligo or morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The biopsy confirmed a micronodular BCC, an unusual presentation, as these typically manifest as an erythematous macule or thin papule/plaque. This report highlights the importance of considering various factors and differential diagnoses to ensure the best patient care and the need for vigilance in diagnosing rare presentations of BCC.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignant neoplasm. It has a slowly progressive nature and a locally invasive behavior. Both genetic predisposition and exposure to environmental risks are involved in its pathogenesis. An ever-increasing annual incidence is observed. Multiple BCCs may be seen in some syndromes such as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin–Goltz syndrome. The occurrence of multiple, concurrent, non-syndromic BCCs is rare. Herein, we present a concise report of an observation of multiple, non-syndromic BCCs involving a hypopigmented patch on the forehead in an adult Afghani patient.
