A 33‐year‐old female with pedunculated basal cell epithelioma was reported. She had noticed a cutaneous tumor on the scalp for two years before admission. It developed gradually and clinically resembled fibroma or pigmented nevus. Total resection was performed, and its histopathology revealed the solid or cystic type of basal cell epithelioma.
