Title: Evaluation of Pigmented Skin Lesions With MelaFind(R) System
Brief Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that MelaFind®, a new instrument that uses machine vision for non-invasive early detection of cutaneous pigmented malignant melanoma, is safe and effective. MelaFind® acquires digital images of the lesion with illumination in different spectral bands, from visible to near infrared, and automatically analyzes these images. Diagnostic accuracy of MelaFind® and that of study dermatologists will be evaluated. The reference standard will be final interpretation of lesions by central dermatohistopathology.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* A diagnosis of malignant melanona

Exclusion Criteria:

* None
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women ≥ 18 years of age.
* For patients with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), histological confirmation of distant BCC metastasis (eg, lung, liver, lymph nodes, or bone), with metastatic disease that is Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) measurable using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
* For patients with locally advanced BCC, histologically confirmed disease that is considered to be inoperable.
* For patients with locally advanced BCC, radiotherapy must have been previously administered for their locally advanced BCC, unless radiotherapy is contraindicated or inappropriate. For patients whose locally advanced BCC has been irradiated, disease must have progressed after radiation.
* For women of childbearing potential, agreement to the use of two acceptable methods of contraception, including one barrier method, during the study and for 12 months after discontinuation of vismodegib (GDC-0449).
* For men with female partners of childbearing potential, agreement to use a latex condom, and to advise their female partner to use an additional method of contraception during the study and for 3 months after discontinuation of vismodegib.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior treatment with vismodegib or other Hedgehog pathway inhibitors.
* Pregnancy or lactation.
* Life expectancy of \< 12 weeks.
* Patients with superficial multifocal BCC who may be considered unresectable due to breadth of involvement.
* Concurrent non-protocol-specified anti-tumor therapy (eg, chemotherapy, other targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or photodynamic therapy).
* Recent, current, or planned participation in an experimental drug study.
* History of other malignancies within 3 years of the first day of treatment with vismodegib in this study (Day 1), except for tumors with a negligible risk for metastasis or death, such as adequately treated squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
* Uncontrolled medical illnesses such as infection requiring treatment with intravenous antibiotics.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* The lesion is pigmented (i.e., melanin, keratin, blood)
* Clinical management of the lesion by the examining dermatologist is either biopsy of the lesion in toto, or 3-month follow-up of the lesion
* The diameter of the pigmented area is between 2 and 22 millimeters
* The lesion is accessible to the MelaFind hand-held imaging device
* The patient, or a legally authorized representative, has consented to participate in the study and has signed the Informed Consent Form

Exclusion Criteria:

* The patient has a known allergy to isopropyl alcohol
* The lesion has been previously biopsied, excised, or traumatized
* The skin is not intact (e.g., open sores, ulcers, bleeding)
* The lesion is within 1 cm of the eye
* The lesion is on mucosal surfaces (e.g., lips, genitals)
* The lesion is on palmar hands
* The lesion is on plantar feet
* The lesion is on or under nails
* The lesion is located on or in an area of visible scarring
* The lesion contains foreign matter (e.g., tattoo, splinter, marker)
D: DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

* Histologically confirmed primary basal cell skin carcinoma

  * Nodular or superficial lesion(s)\*
  * Located in low-risk areas NOTE: \*Any number of lesions are allowed but only 1 lesion per patient is selected for the study
* No genetic or nevoid conditions (e.g., Gorlin's syndrome)
* No morphoeic (microinfiltrative) histology
