AB A  70-year-old  man  presented  with  a  small  ulcer  on  the  nasal  tip  that  he  noticed  while  washing  his  face.  The  lesion  bled  easily,  and  on  occasion  the  bleeding  was  hard  to  stop  (Figure  177-1).  He  noticed  it  first  about  6  months  ago,  and  at  times  it  seemed  to  almost  heal.  A  photograph  was  taken  to  document  the  location  of  the  lesion.  Histology  from  a  shave  biopsy  confirmed  an  infiltrative  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC),  and  he  was  referred  for  Mohs  microsurgery  for  excellent  margin  control.
