The group of histopathologically aggressive BCC subtypes includes morpheaform, micronodular, infiltrative and metatypical BCC. Since these tumors are at increased risk of recurring, micrographically controlled surgery is considered the best therapeutic option. Although dermoscopy significantly improves the clinical recognition of BCC, scarce evidence exists on their dermoscopic criteria.

- The study examines the management of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that has been incompletely excised, highlighting different treatment approaches and their effectiveness in a tertiary dermatology center in Northern Greece.
- Researchers analyzed 84 patients with incompletely excised BCC over a 5-year period and categorized them into three groups: immediate re-excision, watchful waiting, and non-surgical treatments.
- Results showed that re-excision resulted in residual tumor presence in over half of the cases and clinical recurrence occurred in 16.7% of patients, suggesting that the management strategy chosen can significantly impact outcomes.
