Abstract

Abstract: Basal cell carcinomas and melanoma are common cutaneous malignancies. However, the development of a basomelanocytic tumor that simultaneously includes elements of melanoma and basal cell carcinoma is extremely rare. We present the case of an 84-year-old man who presented with a nonpigmented, nonulcerated pink nodule of his left upper back and discuss the current management recommendations for basomelanocytic tumors.
