A 65－year－old man presented with a mass in the pubic area that he first noticed approximately 40 years previously. On examination, we found a 97×54×25－mm pedunculated non－pigmented tumor. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was diagnosed by skin biopsy. Surgical excision with a 10－mm margin was performed, and the wound was closed in two stages. The tumor was a relatively rare polypoid BCC, and histopathological examination revealed micronodular BCC. In Japanese patients, BCC often appears on the face as a small pigmented tumor. However, it is difficult to diagnose if it occurs in the pubic area as a pedunculated non－pigmented tumor. Therefore, delayed diagnosis and inappropriate resection should be avoided.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2024 ; 39 : 198－203]
