Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common tumor of the skin. The main goal of treatment is complete tumor removal with less obvious functional and cosmetic losses. The choice of treatment largely depends on the risk of relapse, which is associated with the presence or absence of aggressive clinical and histopathological signs. The authors have analyzed 233 cases of BCC treatment, including 127 and 106 primary and recurrent BCC cases, respectively. The recurrence rate of primary BCC after surgical treatment in the patients of the authors’ department was 0.8%.
