In this week's case discussion by Dr Terry Harvey, we look at a 4x3mm lesion identified on the clavicle of a 40-year-old male during a routine skin check. He was unaware of any lesion in the area.

The lesion was excised, and pathology revealed it to be a nodular and pigmented basal cell carcinoma with clear margins.
