Description: This BCC exhibits multiple telangiectasia, arborising telangiectasia, a red clod (blood vessel lacune) and a large blue clod (blue ovoid nest)
History: This lesion was encountered at a routine skin check on this new patient to the practice. Histology was reported as "...a focally pigmented BCC of solid type expanding the papillary dermis". It was excised with 10mm margins as it was apparently a recurrent BCC arising in continuity with a surgical scar from a BCC excision 5 years earlier.
