Spontaneous Regression of Annular Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract

We herein present a case of annular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with spontaneous regression on the right temporal region of a 56-year-old Japanese male. Histopathological examination revealed that the central section had no tumor cells. The sweat glands, follicles, and other cutaneous appendages were also absent. This pattern of spontaneous regression is quite uncommon, and understanding the histopathology may be important for future approaches to BCC.
