Abstract :
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant epithelial tumor that develops from the basal cell layer of the epidermis. It is predominantly found in older adults, with a high incidence in people aged 40 to 80. This form of cancer rarely metastasizes but is known to be locally invasive. In this report, we present a case of a 43-year-old male with a swelling on his upper lip. After thorough clinical, histopathological, and imaging assessments, a BCC was confirmed. He underwent full excision of the lesion with the surrounding tissue to ensure clear margins.
