Abstract
An 84-year-old male with a history of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the scalp presented with an ulcerating nodule. Low-power microscopic sections yielded an irregular surface epithelial and dermal basaloid neoplasm (Fig. 29.1). Intermediate-power examination showed extensive follicular involvement at all levels of the follicle (Fig. 29.2). High-power examination revealed a two-toned basophilic peripheral layer with central eosinophilic staining (Fig. 29.3).
