Abstract Introduction/Objective Skin cancer comprises 1-2% of all cancers in African American (AA) patients. Among all skin cancers, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common one in AA, with an incidence of approximately 3 per 100,000. It mainly affects patients over 50-year-old. The most common locations of SCC (60-70% of cases) in AA were the sun-protected areas such as the lower limbs and anogenital region, rather than sun-exposed areas. Methods/Case Report We report a case of a 40-year-old AA male with longstanding folliculitis decalvans presenting with giant SCC. In 2016, the patient noted the enlargement of the atrophic hyperpigmented plaques on the right posterior scalp. They grew into a 10.5 x 10 x 4.5 cm exophytic, verrucous-like mass when the patient presented to the clinic in 2021. A skin biopsy of the giant mass showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with cytologic atypia. CT scan ruled out underlying bone invasion. After that, the mass was resected with minimal 3-cm negative margins. Histological evaluation reveals a moderately differentiated keratinizing SCC with clear cell changes in a background of severe acute and chronic inflammation, folliculitis, and scar. No lymphovascular invasion is noted. An over 10-cm SCC arising within folliculitis decalvans on the scalp of a young AA patient is rare. To our knowledge, this the first report of such a case. Despite the limited data available, chronic scarring process and inflammation, instead of sun damage, are believed to be the most important risk factors for SCC development in the AA population. SCC greater than 4cm in chronic inflammation/scar is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. Therefore, early diagnosis, treatment, and close follow-up are critical. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion Our report emphasizes (1) biopsy has limitations in diagnosing giant cutaneous neoplasms due to inadequate sampling; (2) the need for growing awareness, earlier diagnosis, and skin cancer treatment in people of color.

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the renal parenchyma is an extremely rare entity. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is usually unsuspected due to the rarity and inconclusive clinical and radiological features. Most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and are with poor outcome. Radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of the treatment. We reported a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in a 50-year-old female who presented with the right sided abdomen pain. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy.

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to be an important etiologic agent in the development of skin cancer. Keratoacanthoma is an unusual, well-described cutaneous neoplasm that resembes squamous cell carcinoma but spontaneously resolves. Rarely, multiple keratoacanthomas may develop. Objective We present a case of multiple keratoacanthomas in a patient with psoriasis who had received UVB phototherapy. These lesions were hyperkeratotic papules, many of which spontaneously resolved and demonstrated the histologic characteristics of keratoacanthoma. Conclusion: We believe that UV radiation is the most likely etiologic factor in this patient's development of multiple keratoacanthomas. We wish to bring to the attention of clinicians this unusual adverse effect of UV treatment.

Background: Skin cancer is a broad term that refers to a variety of different types of cancer. It is usually recognized as non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer. In many parts of the world, the prevalence is high, with significant ecological and ethical variation. Objectives: Objective was to determine demographic and histological features of skin cancer in Southwest region of Pakistan. Methodology: This retrospective study was carried out on skin cancer 1169 cases of Centre for Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy (CENAR) in Quetta. The data from January 2000 to December 2009 (10Years) was retrieved from record. The aim was to determine the importance of skin cancer in this area, its gender wise distribution and its pathological types. Results: Record of total 9308 cancer patients was retrieved from patients presenting to CENAR Quetta. From 9308 case, 1169(12.5%) patients were of skin cancer which was second most prevalent category of cancer in this area. Prevalence was higher in males with 713(61%) cases as compared to females. Pathologically with 634(54%) cases, the most prevalent category was Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Conclusion: Skin cancer is wide-spread type of cancer in patients of south-west region of Pakistan. The findings of this study are not aligned with published data. The difference is because of high altitude of the study area, dry climate and long skin exposure particularly in low socio-economic field workers.

Introduction. It is rare for actinic or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ to metastasize. Case Presentation. A 67-year-old male had a significant medical history including severe psoriatic arthritis treated with UVB, methotrexate, and rapamycin. He had twenty-five different skin excisions of actinic keratosis four of which were invasive SCC. Our patient developed shortness of breath necessitating a visit to the emergency department. A CT scan of his chest revealed a mass in the right lower lung. A subsequent biopsy of the mass revealed well-differentiated SCC. He underwent thoracoscopic surgery with wedge resection of the lung lesion. Discussion. Actinic keratosis (AK) is considered precancerous and associated with UV exposure. It exists as a continuum of progression with low potential for malignancy. The majority of invasive SCCs are associated with malignant progression of AK, but only 5–10% of AKs will progress to malignant potential. Conclusion. In this case, a new finding of lung SCC in the setting of multiple invasive actinic cutaneous SCC associated with a history of extensive UV light exposure and immunosuppression supports a metastatic explanation for lung cancer.

Introduction: A periodical database is important including for skin cancer. Periodical registration is needed to acknowledge changes in pattern and frequencies of skin lesion. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern and the frequency of skin lesion in RSUD Kariadi.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted through analysis of the medical records of patients diagnosed skin lesion in the pathology labolatory of RSUD Kariadi between 2008 and 2009. The variables were secondary data including age, gender, specimen area, dan histopathology diagnosis. Data was choosen by consecutive sampling from 381 medical records of skin tissues examined at laboratorium of pathology anatomy of Dr. Kariadi general hospital during 2008-2009.Result: 381 cases were recorded comprising of 246 (65%) neoplastic and 135 (35%) non neoplastic lesion. 120 patients presented with skin cancer, and 126 with benign skin lesion. Most malignancy was observed among female patients (62.5%) on age catagory of 15-39 (65%). The most common lesion was basal cell carcinoma (48.3%) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (33.3%), malignant melanoma (10%), skin appendix carcinoma (2.5%), other malignancies (4.9%).Conclusion: the most common malignancies in Dr. Kariadi general hospital before 2008 was similar to data from 13 laboratory of pathology anatomy in Indonesia, which is squamous cell carcinoma.
