    They normaly do a biopsy on a piece to see the extent of the basal cell and act accordingly.  I had one taken on my first appointment and because it was extensive I was in the next week (2 years ago).  I had had 5 before and this one was from one I had had taken off 5 years ago but they didn't get it all and it was growing inside.  If you have had an appointment with the Maxillo Facial I should try ringing them and asking.  Good luck.
