In this week's case discussion, submitted by Dr Renuka Ranasinghe, we look at a 56-year-old male patient with a history of non-melanoma skin cancers who presents for a skin check.
An inconspicuous scaly patch is noted on his right shin. The patient states it is a "dry patch" that has been checked each year but is progressively getting larger. He reports no inflammation, pain, bleeding, or pruritis.

Apologies, the photos were taken after the biopsy.
