The most common sites for basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are sun-exposed areas like the face, ears, head, neck, shoulders, and back. As seen here, these malignant growths can range from pearly white, pink and translucent to deep red, brown, black, or even blue hued lesions. Pigmented BCCs make up for about half of all BCC cases in darker skin tone patients. They are often misdiagnosed as seborrheic keratoses, melanoma, or nevus sebaceous.
