Abstract: Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is locally destructive and rarely metastasizing skin tumor occurring on face in fair skinned people. Chronic exposure to sunlight is the most common precipitating factor for its development. The commonest region for occurrence is on the face and forehead region above an imaginary line joining the angle of mouth to tragus of external ear. Case Report: We present a case of BCC in a 57 years old male over left side of forehead region who was managed surgically by wide local excision and rotational flap. The final histopathology report was nodular variant of BCC with clear margins. Conclusion: Surgical excision of superficial, low-risk nodular BCC is the most common modality of treatment. Although topical agents like 5% fluorouracil or localized laser ablation or cryotherapy are good alternatives for low -risk superficial BCC, modalities like immunotherapy and radiotherapy should be offered to patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic BCC.
