Mutated gene

A mistake by cellular machinery, or damage from an environmental agent such as radiation may produce a mutated gene which is a permanently altered segment of dna.  

A gene mutation is a perpetual change in the DNA sequence that forms a gene which makes the sequence different from what is present in most people. Gene mutations can be classified into; hereditary mutation (changes inherited from parents) and somatic mutation (changes caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun).

Answer:

Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.

Explanation:

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results  in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
