Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer seen in sun exposed areas of head and neck. Nipple areola complex is a very rare site for this tumour. The BCC of nipple areolar complex has been suggested to be more aggressive with higher rate of metastasis to regional lymph nodes. Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumour that are usually benign and slow growing, arising from meningothelial cells. This rare case report outlines the association of nipple-areolar complex BCC with frontotemporal meningioma in an elderly lady.
