We report 3 cases of basal cell epithelioma (BCE) on the forearm. Case 1 was a 70-year-old woman who had a brown-black nodule, measuring 12×8mm on the dorsal surface of her left forearm. Histological examination revealed a nodular type of BCE. Case 2 was a 86-year-old woman. Her chief complaint was a 12×12mm in size erosion with crust on the dorsal surface of her forearm. Histological examination revealed superficial type of the BCE. The dermis around the BCE showed remarkable basophilic degeneration. Case 3 was an 84-year-old woman. She had a 8×8mm in size erythema with crust on the flexural side of her forearm. Histological examination showed nodular nests of BCE on the upper dermis. We discuss the relationship between ultraviolet light and these BCEs. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2002; 17: 44-47]
