We present a case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a rapidly growing tumor in the left buttock and intergluteal cleft area, which was affected by hidradenitis suppurativa. The patient was on tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors for hidradenitis suppurativa for 2 years prior to the development of the mass. Initial biopsy of the mass showed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with spindle cells and positive epithelial immunomarkers. Subsequent excisional biopsy of the tumor showed an infiltrating poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma composed of islands of atypical sarcomatoid spindle cells. Squamous cell carcinoma arising in hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare complication which may occur secondary to chronic inflammation and epidermal hyperproliferation in hidradenitis suppurativa–affected areas.

Abstract Background Basaloid cell carcinoma of the esophagus (BSCCE) is a rare (0.07–4%) poorly-differentiated variety of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), more aggressive and with a worse prognosis than typical SCC. There are no published studies on the best therapeutic option for these tumors or on of the effectiveness of Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapie; so there is no standard treatment. We describe the characteristics and the therapeutic strategy applied to a patient with an avanced basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the distal esophagus. Methods A 70-year-old woman with dysphagia and severe malnutrition was diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal cáncer of lower esophagus The biopsy indicated moderately differentiated basaloid cell carcinoma. The clinical diagnosis was cT4NxM0, We decided multimodal treatment with curative intent: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapie at a dose of 41.4 Gy and concomitant carboplatin and pacliotaxel 5 cycles (CROSS scheme) plus surgery. Results PET-TAC post-neoadjuvant re-evaluation showed partial morphological response (reduction of tumor metabolism in 34.7%). 6 weeks after radiochemotherapy we performed a three fields total esophagectomy. Postoperative course without incidents. The pathological diagnosis was BASALOID cell CARCINOMA located in distal esophagus of 10 cm long with 30% tumor residual; it affects gastro-oesophageal junction. Stage TNM 7th ed: ypT3 N0 (0/17) L0V1R0 Our patient is fine and without evidence of recurrence after 15 meses. Conclusion Basal squamous cell carcinoma is more common in men around 60 years old, being rare in older women. They are located more frequently in the middle than in lower esophagus. They are tumors of poor prognosis (poorly differentiated, locally advanced and with an aggressive biological behavior that predisposes to early metastasis) although the latest publications relate the prognosis especially with the stage of the tumor. There are no published data about the use of Neoadjuvant treatment for these tumors. We have carried out a multimodal treatment (Cross scheme) followed by surgery with clinical, radiological (PET-TAC) and pathological response (30% of residual tumor in the piece) CONCLUSION The multimodal treatment with Cross scheme and surgery was useful in patients with Basaloid tumor of the esophagus can be considered for patients with this type of tumor.

In this case study, we present an unusual case with squamous cell carcinoma surrounding the penis involving foreskin and glans of penis. In addition, multiple satellite nodules were noted in the pubis. A 57-year-old circumcised heterosexual male patient presented with a penile lesion existing for 10 years. At the same time, he was referred to an outpatient memory clinic because of persistent subjective memory complaints associated with depression and anxiety. The patient was operated under general anaesthesia. The lesion was resected circumferentially with macroscopic clearance, resulting in complete degloving of the penile shaft. Neurovascular bundles were preserved. Histopathological analysis of the lesion revealed an invasive and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and the surgical margins were free from tumour. The patient was followed for 18 months. He did not have voiding difficulty. Pelvic tomographic and physical examination findings did not reveal any episode of recurrence or metastasis. Treatment of carcinoma resulted in a simultaneous full recovery of his memory decline and he remained free of depression and anxiety symptoms over time.

Background. Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a common head and neck cancer worldwide.Objective. To determine the demographic characteristics of patients with laryngeal cancer, establish their tumor characteristics and relate it to their smoking and alcohol ingestion habits.Methods. Fifty cases and fifty controls were recruited of matching age, sex, and region of residence. History and pattern of cigarette smoking and alcohol ingestion was taken and analyzed.Results. 33 (66%) of the cases and 3 (6%) among controls were current cigarette smokers. 74% had smoked for more than 30 years,P<0.0001OR 21.3 (95% CI: 2.6–176.1). There was a male predominance (96%) and most cases (62%) were from the ethnic communities in the highland areas of Kenya predominantly in Central and Eastern provinces. Very heavy drinkers had increased risk ofP<0.0001OR, 6.0 (95% CI: 1.957–18.398) and those who smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol had poorly differentiated tumors G3,P<0.001, OR 11.652 (95% CI 2.305–58.895), and G4,P=0.52OR 7.286 (95% CI 0.726–73.075). They also presented with advanced disease (73.6%).Conclusion. Cigarette smoking and alcohol ingestion are strong risk factors for development of late stage and poorly differentiated laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in Kenya.
