How would you manage this brown lesion on the forehead?

Written by HealthCert Education | Oct 9, 2024 3:00:00 AM

In this week's case discussion, from Dr John O'Bryen, we look at a 54-year-old woman with a history of basal cell carcinoma who presents for a six-monthly skin check. This brown macule is noted on her forehead.

What are your thoughts, and what would you do next?

Update

An elliptical excision reports a nodular basal cell carcinoma with clear
margins.
