Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer1. Among the risk factors for its development are exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, some chemicals, and previous scars.2 However, the most important factor is exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which explains the higher incidence of this neoplasm in photo-exposed areas.1 BCC in unexposed areas is uncommon. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of recurrent BCC in the vulva, to demonstrate the importance of dermatological examination in unusual areas, and to report the application of Mohs micrographic surgery.
