Both internal and external factors play a role in its development. These promarily include chronic actinic effects, age and genetic dispositions. This type of carcinoma tumours is a malignant epithelial tumour growing out of pluripotent basal cell of the epidermis with preserved mitotic activity, but without the capability to keratinise.
