        patient should be referred to the appropriate physician
        
        85% found on the head and neck, papular growth with sessile base then becomes more nodular, center becomes depressed, ulcerated and crusted. painless, can cause deformities if left untreated.
        
        BCC starts in the deep layer of the epidermis in sun exposed areas, enlarges slowly, in rare cases BCC can metastasize.
        
        BCC most common skin cancer, occurs between ages of 50-80
      - Genetic predisposition in certain syndromes
- - - - associated with HPV virus
      - Epidemiology
        
        fair skinned, older, history of sun damage, 2-3 times more frequent in men than women.
        
        Pathogenesis
        
        begins as keratinocytes, can occur in areas effected by actinic keratosis and scar tissue, slow growing,metastasizes in about 2%
        
        Characteristics
        
        painless, non helaling rough, red scaly papule. may itch, becomes crusted and bleeds easily, more dangerous than BCC, metastasizes more rapidly
        
        Dental implications
        
        painless, non healing ulcers should be suspected as ASS and biopsied
        
        Differential diagnosis
        
        actinic keratosis, Psoriasis, eczema,BCC

      - Epideemiology
        
        less than 1% of all skin cancers, white men over 40, leading cause of cancer death in women 35-30, 20 times higher in whites than blacks
        
        Pathogenesis
        
        developes in the melanocytes when sun damage occurs
        
        Characteristics
        
        irregular borders, variable colored, dome shaped areas, large flat multicolored macule. mucosal melanomas make up 1% of oral cavity cancers
        
        Dental implications
        
        The clinician should observe all visible pigmented areas using the ABCDE method
        
        Differential diagnosis
        
        Benign nevus, Kaposi sarcoma, Solar lentigo, tattoo, pigmented basal cell carcinoma

        Treatment and prognosis
        
        treatment is determined by primary tumor, prognosis is 10% reaching 5 years
        
        All patients with a history of cancer should be examined for any suspicious lesions
        
        poorly defined radiolucent, painful, loosening of the teeth, bone expansion, growth of a soft tisue tumor.
        
        metastasis usually occurs 2-3 years after diagnosis and completion of treatment,metastasis to the mandible is more common, the gingiva followed by the tongue.
      - Primary tumor metastasis to the oral cavity is rare, 1-2% of oral cancers
