| Summary: | Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is more common in the lower eyelid region when it affects the periorbital region. It occurs predominantly in men between 50-70 years and has a high recurrence rate. Although it rarely metastasizes, orbital invasion can occur. This study aims to present a case of pigmented BCC of unusual location. The location of BCC in the upper eyelid region is rare, and dermoscopy is essential to distinguish it from its primary differential diagnoses. |
