Basal cell carcinoma: Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma begins in the basal cells — a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off Well demarcated islands and strands epithelial cells invading in underlaying connective tissue Epithelial islands typically show palisading of peripheral cells which are columnar cells resembeling basal layer of epithelium Keratin pearls in center of islands Pilosebaceous structures seen Labelled diagrams:
