Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, and patients receiving hemodialysis are at increased risk of developing them. This article describes a case of a patient with a basal cell carcinoma in which the diagnosis was delayed due to the lesion masquerading as granulation tissue at the site of a previous tunnelled hemodialysis catheter. Early detection of basal cell carcinomas is important because delayed detection increases the risk of local invasion and the requirement for more complex surgical management.
