Abstract
A 77-years-old woman presented with a 4-year history of nodules on the sole. Physical examination revealed two black nodules, 10×8mm in size and 3mm in diameter on the left sole. Dermoscopic features showed blue-whitish veil, suggestive of malignant melanoma. Biopsy specimen from the sole revealed basal cell carcinoma (BCC) histopathologically, and we resected both nodules. BCCs occur rarely on the sole. We reported our case with review of literature and speculation about the origin of plantar BCC.Skin Research, 11: 170-172, 2012
