Only nine cases have been described that showed typical diagnostic features of BCC. in addition to shadow cells indicating hair- matrix differentiation. These cases often present a diagnostic challenge due to confusion with pilomatrixoma or pilomatrix carcinoma. We present a case of BCC with matrical differentiation in a 78- year- old man. Immunohistochemical and molecular methods are used to differentiate this lesion from benign or malignant forms of pilomatrixoma.展开更多
