Background: There are no univocal opinions on the management of incompletely excised basal cell carcinoma (BCC); early re-excision or clinical observation represent the two possible options. The main objective of the present study was to compare the rate of recurrence between incompletely excised BCCs, not re-excised, and completely excised BCCs within a 3-5 year follow-up period in order to reach indications about the most appropriate care strategy.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study on a cohort of 39 incompletely excised and 107 completely excised BCCs.
