AB KEY  POINTSWhile  basal  cell  carcinomas  are  most  commonly  seen  in  those  with  lighter  skin,  they  can  indeed  happen  in  darker  skin,  and  missed  and  delayed  diagnoses  can  contribute  to  disease  morbidity  and  even  mortality.Basal  cell  carcinomas  in  darker  skin  are  often  pigmented  and  can  mimic  melanoma.  They  can  also  be  mistaken  for  inflammatory  processes.The  subclassifications  of  basal  cell  carcinomas  that  are  seen  in  lighter  skin  can  also  be  seen  in  darker  skin.  These  include  superficial,  nodular,  ulcerative,  and  morpheaform.
