Basal cell carcinoma is usually a slow-growing tumor for which metastases are rare. Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer around 75-80%. We present the case of A 87-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of a reddish-brown nodule on the right side of her face. The complaint has been about 4 months, initially small in size as a mole but grew progressively to its current size. It is known that his daily work is as a farmer. However, one of the main problems of BCC is the cosmetic appearance, especially in the facial area.
