Nodular BCC: histomorphology. Nodular BCC manifests multiple variably sized and rounded nodules with a pushing contour in apposition to a stroma that shows no significant fibroplasias (a). The nodules of tumor show a peripheral palisade of basaloid cells and, at their interface with the stroma, slit-like retraction is seen (arrow) (b). Note also the eosinophilic condensation of basement membrane material adherent to the cytoplasms of the palisading basaloid cells (b).
