Basal Cell cancer

The pathology report came back on this and did reveal that this was in fact a basal cell cancer. The metastatic potential for these is quite low and so long as they are removed efficiently and completely, they shouldn't recur. The best treatment for these is Mohs procedure where layer after layer is removed and analyzed until the pathologist confirms that everything is removed. Unfortunately, specialists and cancer centers in our area won't assess the patient until a tissue diagnosis is established so biopsies like this have to occur first.
