Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma accounts for at least 32% of all cancers globally. Of skin cancers other than melanoma, about 80% are basal cell carcinomas. Basal cell carcinoma commonly presents as ulcerative lesions on the exposed parts of the face. Modalities for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma include surgical excision, cryotherapy, and radiotherapy. This article presents case report of a middle aged female with recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the ala of nose treated with surface mould brachytherapy
