# Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma in an Unusual Groin Location: A Rare Presentation

## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of basal cell carcinoma in the groin of a 66-year-old man and reviews its occurrence in unusual locations.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in reporting a rare groin location for basal cell carcinoma and reviewing its atypical presentations.

## Key findings

- Basal cell carcinoma can occur in unusual locations like the groin.
- The case highlights the importance of considering this cancer in atypical regions.
- Literature review reveals similar rare occurrences in other non-typical areas.

## Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent skin malignancy with a constant rise in its incidence. It affects typically the head and neck of elderly patients. However, the literature in English shows its occurrence in many uncommon locations. In our work, we report a case of basal cell carcinoma occurring in the groin region in a 66-year-old male patient, with no particular medical history. We also discuss through a literature review, the characteristics of this common neoplasm when it occurs in the groin and in other atypical locations.
