<p>Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is a most common malignancy reported in the western world. It arises most often in sun-exposed areas (80-85%) especially head and neck consistent with the etiologic role of solar radiation. However, there are atypical localizations such as abdomen, perianal region, groin that require a higher index of suspicion to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Exposure to sunlight is thought to be most responsible etiological factor of BCC, although trauma and scar tissue have also been implicated as possible etiological causes. It has a cure rate of 100% with early diagnosis and surgical excision. Pigmented BCC is a rare clinical and histological variant of BCC that exhibits increase pigmentation. We present a case of rare variant of basal cell carcinoma of abdominal location over a prior surgical scar.</p><p class="Body"> </p>

Background: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour of the skin worldwide. The objective was to find out the age and sex incidence of basal cell carcinoma in patients attending the outpatient department of dermatology and to find out the various clinical and histopathological features of basal cell carcinoma.Methods: It was a prospective observational study carried out in a tertiary care hospital, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. Patients with clinical diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma were included in the study after thorough history, clinical examination, routine and special investigations like skin biopsy.Results: Out of 20 patients with basal cell carcinoma 6 were males and 14 were females with a male to female ratio of 1:2.33. Most commonly affected age group was 50-70 years (70%). Distribution of BCC in our study was confined to head and neck area. Most common morphological subtype encountered in this study was nodular/nodulo-ulcerative BCC (70%), followed by pigmented type (25%) and superficial BCC (5%). The most common histological variant observed in present study was nodular type (55%), followed by pigmented variant (25%), adenoid (5%), basisquamous (5%), superficial BCC (5%) and BCC with sebaceous differentiation (5%).Conclusions: This study highlights a paradoxically increasing trend of BCC with female predilection. Early detection and treatment of lesions are crucial to decrease the functional and cosmetic disfigurement and also this study highlights the importance of improving awareness among general practitioners, public health workers and general population.

AimsThe aim is to study staged periocular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) excision in a tertiary oculoplastic referral centre in Sheffield, UK. In particular, we examined patients with close or positive margins and no tumour seen on re-excision to identify demographics and tumour characteristics in this population.MethodsA retrospective review of medical records of 437 cases of staged periocular BCC excisions over a 10-year period (2007–2017) was carried out. Patients had surgical excision with 3 mm clinically clear margins. Staged excision was performed for all cases included in this study. Standard reconstruction techniques were employed. Histopathology was analysed for tumour type, subtype and stage.ResultsOver the 10-year period, of the 437 periocular BCCs, 156 had close or involved margins. Residual tumour was found in 29 (18.6%), whereas in 122 eyelids of 120 patients (78.2%) no residual tumour was identified on histological examination. Micronodular (54.1%) and nodular (23.7%) growth patterns of BCC, as well as lower eyelid location (72.1%), were the most prevalent in this population. Two patients (1.6%) had recurrence of BCC over a mean follow-up of 57 months (range 1–125 months).ConclusionsA significant proportion of BCCs transected on initial excision show no residual tumour in the re-excision specimens. In the interval between initial excision and re-excision, there may be eradication of the residual tumour. The exact mechanisms for this are unclear, however, and re-excision remains the appropriate recommended course in the presence of involved surgical margins of periocular BCC, particularly when high-risk tumour subtypes are encountered.
