"On ultrasound, small primary cutaneous basal cell carcinomas tend to usually appear as well‐defined oval hypoechoic or heterogeneous dermal structures; although the lesions can also affect deeper layers. Basal cell carcinomas can have hyper-echoic spots, which if present has been reported to be a useful sign to differentiate from other types of skin cancer. These hyperechoic spots can have a "cotton flower-like appearance" and usually does not show posterior acoustic shadowing artifact that is classically described in gross calcified structures 4."

"Surgery is the treatment of choice of primary basal cell cancers; chemotherapy (e.g. sonidegib (Odomzo) is used for metastatic cases."
