In 1827, Jacob Arthur, reported the "rodent ulcer". In 1900, Edmund Krompecher, identified the histological features as an epithelial carcinoma.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Historical Perspective

  • In 1827, Jacob Arthur, an Irish ophthalmologist, reported a difficult-to-eradicate lesion. He coined the term "rodent ulcer". Rodent ulcer's are also known as an ulcerating basal cell carcinoma[1].
  • In 1900, Edmund Krompecher, a German physician, identified the features of the rodent ulcer as an epithelial carcinoma[1].
  • The number of cases of basal cell carcinoma doubled between 1970 and 1986[1].
