Introduction: Multiple osteoma cutis is a rare skin disorder characterized by tiny bone fragments deposition in the skin. It is a benign disease, which occurs as primary or secondary forms. Secondary osteoma cutis most commonly appears on the facial acne scars in middleaged women. The exact etiology of this phenomenon is unknown, but it may be induced by osteoblastic metaplasia of mesenchymal elements. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a 70-year-old man with a history of multiple basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the scalp caused by radiotherapy, who referred to our tumor clinic with multiple skin-colored subcutaneous papules and nodules on his scalp from 2 years ago along with cutaneous side effect changes of radiodermatitis. In the histological examination of lesions with differential diagnosis of BCC, cysts, and adnexal tumors, the diagnosis of osteoma cutis was established without any evidence of BCC. Conclusion: Osteoma cutis is a rare disorder most commonly affecting the face, but our patient had multiple lesions of the scalp. The inflammatory changes of radiodermatitis may be the principal cause of this change.

Abstract We report a case of nonsyndromic type of multiple basal cell carcinoma associated purely with actinic keratoses. A 69-year-old Indian male had suffered from multiple, variable-sized papules and nodules on the face, neck and chest for 13 years previous to treatment. He had no history of arsenic intake, irradiation, herb medication, or exposure to chemical warfare gases. Family histories for basal cell carcinoma and xeroderma pigmentosum were negative. Classical features of Gorlin's syndrome were conspicuous by their absence. Histopathologically, the tumors revealed typical findings of basal cell carcinoma arising from actinic keratoses. The case in point is a very rare and unique case in itself as being nonsyndromic, nonhereditary and occurring in the absence of various other environmental conditions as already mentioned in literature.

History Of

Although malignant melanoma (MM) and both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and actinic keratosis (AK) are sun-induced lesions, the coexistence of these entities at the same anatomical site (collision tumour) is exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with a known history of xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XPV) who presented with 2 separate skin lesions over the middle and upper right forearm, respectively. The clinical impression was that of BCCs or squamous cell lesions. On histological examination, both specimens showed features of melanoma <em>in situ </em>(MIS). In the first lesion, MIS merged with and colonised a superficial and focally invasive BCC. In the second lesion, MIS merged with an AK. No separate invasive nests of malignant melanoma were seen in either specimen. The atypical melanocytes were highlighted by Melan-A and HMB-45 immunostaining, whereas the epithelial cells in both the BCC and AK stained with the pancytokeratin MNF-116. The patient had a previous history of multiple MMs and non-melanomatous skin cancers and finally developed widespread metastatic malignant melanoma, which proved fatal. The rare and interesting phenomenon of collision tumours may pose diagnostic difficulties. To our knowledge, this is the first reported simultaneous presentation of cytologically malignant collision tumours in a patient with XPV.

Substantial Morbidity

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). It grows slowly and very rarely metastasizes but can cause substantial morbidity due to its tendency to relapse and locally invasive nature, especially when located on the face. Excision surgery is still the gold standard treatment for primary BCC and is usually followed by reconstruction procedure. Skin flap techniques vary widely, one of which is flap advancement technique. The main benefit of flap advancement technique is the ability to hide the excision line, thus resulting in an aesthetically sound outcome. We report a case of 72-year-old female with hyperpigmented plaque brownish lump on the left lateral cheek. A diagnosis of igmented basal cell carcinoma had been confirmed through histopathological examination. The patient was treated with wide excision surgery and the defect was closed by multiple advancement flaps. Follow-up after three months showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcome.

Histopathological Result

Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma are two types of neoplasms that rarely affect the perianal region, and their etiology is still a matter for debate. We present the case of a 75 year old patient with a 26 year history of perianal fistula, who presents with purulent and fecal perianal discharge and swelling at this level. Physical examination and anoscopy detected low transsphincteric fistula. The biopsy revealed the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, for which a local excision was performed followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Two years after this event, the patient presented with another perianal lession, which according to the histopathological result was a basal cell carcinoma; local excision was the only treatment performed for this malignancy.
