Abstract

Background and Design: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently observed cancer. Its ethiopathogenesis is not totally clarified. In recent years one of the factors mentioned on ethiopathogenesis is 'fusion regions'. In our study we aimed to investigate whether the number of BCC is more or not in anatomic areas which contain more fusion regions.
