Literature review epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical attributes, diagnostics, treatment histopathology, recurrence, prognostic factors, management BCC. Core work. Standardised diagnosis C44 period 1997–2012 Slovakia ranged from 35.05 to 73.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. histopathological examination essential. first consideration for radical surgical excision using Mohs micrographic technique. We can consider apoptotic index, expression Bcl-2, as an unexplained factor recurrence. Conclusion. Increased attention must be given tumours. Functional aesthetic outcome patients important after clear excisions reconstruction should carefully considered. Radical exenteration considered case orbital invasion high-risk aggressive
