BACKGROUND Reported rates of incomplete excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) range from 4% to 16.6%. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess, in clinical practice, the rate and the factors associated with pathologically reported incomplete excision of BCC. METHODS In this retrospective monocentric study, data from all surgically excised BCCs during the year 2004 were computerized. Age, sex, number of BCC excised during the same surgical session, BCC location, pathologic types, and involvement…

In conclusion, incomplete excision of BCCs was associated with location of the tumors in the eyelids, ears, naso-labial folds and nose, and it is recommended that in patients with BCCs located in these sites, surgeons should commence particular surgical measures to avoid inadequate excision.

The measured surgical excision margins correlated well with those assessed histologically, as did the position of the closest margin, and the current practice represents a satisfactory balance between maintaining a low rate of incomplete excision and minimising the sacrifice of normal skin.
