A 59-year-old construction worker presents to the dermatology clinic with a 3-year history of a slow growing lesion on the left temple. The patient describes that the lesion had begun as a small ‘spot’, which had gradually enlarged and had more recently been crusting over and intermittently bleeding. There is no previous history of skin disease and no family history of similar problems.
