Abstract
- Basal cell carcinoma(BCC) is the most common cancer of the skin in Korea. The lesions are most frequently found in the head and neck regions. However, its appearance on the scrotal skin is rare. We observed a case of pigmented BCC on the scrotum in a 66-year-old man. He had a well circumscribed, brown-black plaque on the scrotum for 5 years and the history of prior vasectomy about 30 years ago. The cancer was excised widely.
