We report on a case of a 61-year-old woman with a giant polypoid BCC, measuring 7.1 x 5.0 x 2.2 cm, on the genital region (the pubic area). The histopathological features of this BCC interestingly showed fibroepithelioma of Pinkus with cornification, and merging with nodular BCC with extensive cornification (so-called keratotic BCC). The giant BCC with features of fibroepithelioma of Pinkus is exceedingly rare.
