Although basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is often seen in sun-exposed areas, rare atypical locations as vulva have been reported. Infections, chronic irritation, radiation and chronic arsenic exposure are considered in the etiology of vulvar BCC. A seventy-five year old female patient who is on follow ups for multiple facial and scalp BCCs that are treated with topical imiquimod and cryotherapy because the patient rejected surgical interventions, had vulvar ulcerated nodule which was diagnosed as BCC. This case of BCC was located in two different anatomical regions, without a history of exposure to triggers as arsenic or radiation, thus we considered a role of primary inoculation in the spread of BCC.
