It is a slow growing carcinoma which is locally aggresive but rarely metastasizes and affect, generally, adults. It can be located, predominantly on the head and neck followed by the trunk and rarely in extremities and genital area. Pigmented basal cell carcinoma is a rare variant of these tumor with few cases described in the literature. It affects especially elderly population and can be put in different diagnosis with nodular melanoma both clinically and dermoscopically due to its dark and irregular pigmentation. The diagnosis consists in biopsy or surgical excision followed by histopathologic examination.
