AB A  52-year-old  woman  presented  to  the  office  with  a  “mole”  that  had  been  increasing  in  size  over  the  last  year  (Figure  170-1).  This  “mole”  had  been  on  her  face  for  at  least  5  years.  The  differential  diagnosis  of  this  lesion  was  a  nodular  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC)  versus  an  intradermal  nevus.  A  shave  biopsy  confirmed  it  was  a  nodular  BCC  and  the  lesion  was  excised  with  an  elliptical  excision.
