AB  - Though  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC)  is  the  most  common  malignancy  in  the  world,  its  incidence  is  not  recorded  in  most  cancer  registries  and  published  figures  are  probably  underestimated.  Estimated  incidence  varies  within  geographical  and  ethnic  contexts,  reaching  almost  epidemic  proportions  in  some  countries.  Exposure  to  UV  radiation  is  a  key  risk  factor,  particularly  at  a  young  age.  The  world  is  increasingly  becoming  “sun  smart,”  but  there  is  still  a  huge  lag  phase  to  work  through.  Alongside  an  increasing  incidence,  there  are  several  anatomic  subsites  in  which  BCC  is  becoming  increasingly  prevalent,  such  as  the  pinna,  the  nose,  the  upper  lip,  and  the  medial  eyelid.
