Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin carcinoma. It is usually observed in older patients, especially in those frequently and intensively exposed to ultraviolet radiation during their lives. The most typical site is uncovered skin directly exposed to the sun. The lower eyelid is the most common site, other sites being head, face, neck and limbs. A standard surgical excision is considered a good treatment option for all BCCs arising on the face with 5 year recurrence rates of anything up to 10% providing adequate margins are taken. A 3 to 5 mm margin is recommended for standard surgical excision. Reconstruction can be done with the help of various flaps.
