Nodular basal cell carcinoma (nBCC) of the face can be challenging to diagnose in its early stages. We report our observation of a simple and rapid clinical maneuver that enhances the visualization of arborizing vessels, erosions, and bleeding, thereby facilitating the identification of nBCC. This preliminary observation suggests that the technique may reduce unnecessary biopsies, preserve cosmetic outcomes, and support timelier patient management.

Abstract
Nodular basal cell carcinoma (nBCC) of the face can be challenging to diagnose in its early stages. We report our observation of a simple and rapid clinical maneuver that enhances the visualization of arborizing vessels, erosions, and bleeding, thereby facilitating the identification of nBCC. This preliminary observation suggests that the technique may reduce unnecessary biopsies, preserve cosmetic outcomes, and support timelier patient management.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
