AB Basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC)  is  the  most  common  malignancy  afflicting  mankind.  Sometimes  referred  to  as  a  rodent  ulcer,  the  tumor  was  recognized  by  the  Egyptians,  Greeks,  and  Romans  in  ancient  times.1  In  1827,  Arthur  Jacob  provided  the  first  detailed  clinical  definition  of  BCC  in  a  publication  titled  "Observations  respecting  an  ulcer  of  peculiar  character,  which  attacks  the  eye-lids  and  other  parts  of  the  face."2
