Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma

Imiquimod is widely used for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma as well as several other dermatologic conditions. While its local immunostimulatory action is well proven, its potential for systemic immunomodulation has been less well described. We report the first case (to our knowledge) of varicella zoster reactivation caused by Imiquimod in an immunocompetent patient.

Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma accounts for most skin malignancies. Genital basal cell carcinoma, however, is very rare. We report the first case of superficial basal cell carcinoma involving the inner surface of foreskin. Shared expertise within a multidisciplinary clinic was necessary for early diagnosis of the present case.
