CCD images and surface photometry are presented for six extreme (especially compact) blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. The photometric parameters of the galaxies are used to study their possible fate once star formation has ended. It is found that they may fade to form dwarf elliptical galaxies, as has previously been suggested, but the dE galaxies formed from these BCDs would lie among the most compact in existing samples. Two of the BCDs studied have no surrounding low-surface-brightness envelopes detected to a limit of mu(v) = 27 mag/sq arcsec.
