Fibroepithelial basal cell carcinoma of skin (Q88944)

This tumour usually appears as an elevated flesh-coloured or erythematous nodule that may resemble a seborrhoeic keratosis or acrochordon. It is most often found on the back and is rarely multiple. Prior radiotherapy may be a predisposing factor. The histopathology is characterised by an arborising network of cords of basaloid cells that extend downwards from the epidermis and create a fenestrating pattern.
