Overview
Skin biopsy is the diagnostic study of choice for basal cell carcinoma.

- Basal cell carcinoma is usually diagnosed based on physical examination.[1]
- Skin biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma
- The algorithm below demonstrates a biopsy protocol for patients with a suspected lesion.[2]
