ABSTRACT
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered the most common skin cancer in men. BCC of the foot, however, is very rare, and may occur on dorsal surface of the foot, foot sole or nail apparatus. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the location at an unusual site. We report on two patients a 61-year-old female with an ulcerated BCC of the sole and dorsum of the foot on a leg with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome and a 61-year-old male with an ulcerated BCC of the foot sole. Histologic tumor types were either metatypic or mixed solid and morphea-like with partial glandular infiltration. Perineural invasion was evident in both patients indicating the aggressive tumor behavior in the particular region. Authors also provide a review of the literature with a focus on the years 2000 through 2017.
