Sumario:Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the breast is a rare occurrence. To the best of our knowledge, only 34 cases of this rare malignancy have been reported worldwide. We report the case of a 48 year old lady who presented with history of rapid enlargement of a nevus over breast since three months. On initial examination a diagnosis of melanoma was considered. However the histopathology showed features suggestive of BCC. This case report highlights an atypical presentation of BCC.
