摘要：
A 63-year-old woman with light skin and a history of chronic sun damage presented with a painless, pale macule on her nasal tip. A punch biopsy was performed due to concerns about skin conditions like vitiligo or morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The biopsy confirmed a micronodular BCC, an unusual presentation, as these typically manifest as an erythematous macule or thin papule/plaque. This report highlights the importance of considering various factors and differential diagnoses to ensure the best patient care and the need for vigilance in diagnosing rare presentations of BCC.
