Basal cell carcinoma or BCC. The most common malignancy found in humans.
BCCs are easily the most common entity Iβve seen during my pathology training so far. I personally love how straight forward they tend to be. You can often tell youβre going to have a BCC by just looking at the slide without the microscope. They can be sneaky though!
