Investigation of Carcinoma basocellulare solidum exulcerans, Carcinoma basocellulare superficiale multicentricum, and Trichoepithelioma was performed using histology and bio-mineralogical methods. Obtained data confirmed elevated levels of some elements in altered skin tissues. Moreover, rare micrograins of phosphates were observed. Additionally, examination of bio mineralization of human tissues suggests that higher local mineralization (of tissue fluids) may lead to mistakes in DNA code at the moment of cell division. It is possible that cancer tissues are secondarily mineralized by activity of cancer cells. Further research is needed to answer questions that arose.
