How to spot a basosquamous carcinoma: a study on demographics, clinical-dermatoscopic features and histopathological correlations.

BSC has an aggressive local behaviour with a tendency for recurrence and a less frequent metastatic potential The primary objective was to describe the dermatoscopic features of the tumour.
