Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) incidence is 75% of all skin cancers. BCC rarely causing mortality, but morbidity is high. Clinical diagnostic is the early detection of BCC suspicion, therefore, we required specific criteria that help to establish the clinical diagnosis. The objective of this study was to know the clinical sign as a predictor of basal cell carcinoma. Ten patients with skin tumors who came to dermatovenereological department of Dr. Moewardi hospital were included in this study. Clinical diagnosis using clinical criteria from keratinocyte carcinoma in A Cancer Journal For Clinicians in 2011 (Teleangiectasion, raise border, erythematous with bleeding, pigmentation, translucent appearance, and scarlike appearance) was used as reference of clinical diagnostic criteria. Histopathological examination was performed as a gold standard. All 10 subjects had histopathological finding consistent to BCC. The clinical examination like pigmentation were found in all subjects while teleangiectasia, raise border, erythema with bleeding were found on 9 subject. Translucent appearance was found on 6 subjects. While scarlike appearance was absent in all subjects. The criteria from keratinocyte carcinoma in A Cancer Journal For Clinicians in 2011 can be used to diagnosed BCC clinicallyKeywords : Basal cell carcinoma, Clinical Diagnostic Criteria

Myiasis is a disease caused by infestation of fly larvae in human and other vertebrate tissues. It is a skin condition common in tropical and subtropical countries and its predisposing factors are: chronic diseases, immunodeficiency, poor hygiene, senility, psychiatric disorders, skin cancers and ulcerated mucosae. We report the case of a healthy patient who after traumatic injury of a preexisting lesion showed a tumor on the dorsal region parasitized by fly larvae. The histopathological examination performed for the diagnosis of skin neoplasm surprisingly revealed the presence of a partially degenerated larva with characteristics of Dermatobia hominis, suggesting an association of primary and secondary myiasis on basal cell carcinoma.

Abstract Background Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which is caused by heterozygous inactivating pathogenic variants in the NF1, has poor phenotypic expressivity in the early years of life and there are numerous conditions, including many other tumor predisposition syndromes, that can mimic its appearance. These are collectively termed NF1-like syndromes and are also connected by their genetic background. Therefore, the NF1’s clinical diagnostic efficiency in childhood could be difficult and commonly should be completed with genetic testing. Methods To estimate the number of syndromes/conditions that could mimic NF1, we compiled them through an extensive search of the scientific literature. To test the utility of NF1’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical diagnostic criteria, which have been in use for a long time, we analyzed the data of a 40-member pediatric cohort with symptoms of the NF1-like syndromes’ overlapping phenotype and performed NF1 genetic test, and established the average age when diagnostic suspicion arises. To facilitate timely identification, we compiled strongly suggestive phenotypic features and anamnestic data. Results In our cohort the utility of NF1’s clinical diagnostic criteria were very limited (sensitivity: 80%, specificity: 30%). Only 53% of children with clinically diagnosed NF1 had a detectable NF1 pathogenic variation, whereas 40% of patients without fulfilled clinical criteria tested positive. The average age at first genetic counseling was 9 years, and 40% of children were referred after at least one tumor had already been diagnosed. These results highlight the need to improve NF1-like syndromes’ diagnostic efficiency in childhood. We collected the most extensive spectrum of NF1-like syndromes to help the physicians in differential diagnosis. We recommend the detailed, non-invasive clinical evaluation of patients before referring them to a clinical geneticist. Conclusions Early diagnosis of NF1-like syndromes can help to prevent severe complications by appropriate monitoring and management. We propose a potential screening, diagnostic and management strategy based on our findings and recent scientific knowledge.

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.

Neoplastische Hautläsionen sind multifokal auftretende, diffuse Hautinfiltrationen, die besonders in der Differentialdiagnose ulzerativer, nodulärer oder verkrustender Hautläsionen von Bedeutung sind. Nicht-melanozytäre Hautkrebsformen (nonmelanoma skin cancers, NMSC) wie das Basalzellkarzinom (basal cell carcinoma, BCC), das Plattenepithelkarzinom (squamous cell carcinoma, SCC) und die aktinische Keratose (AK) sind die häufigsten malignen Tumoren beim Menschen. BCC wachsen langsam und bilden meist keine Metastasen, wohingegen SCC ein stärker infiltrierendes, destruierendes Wachstum zeigen und Metastasen bilden. AK sind Vorstufen des kutanen SCC. Bei der klassischen NMSC-Therapie kommt die photodynamische Therapie in Verbindung mit Chemotherapeutika zur Anwendung. Das zunehmende Verständnis der Pathomechanismen, die bei der Tumorentstehung, -progression und -differenzierung eine Rolle spielen, stützt die Anwendung zielgerichteter Chemotherapien zur Verringerung der Zytotoxizität klassischer Therapien. Die vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit beschreibt den aktuellen Wissensstand über NMSC, einschließlich der Risikofaktoren, Onkogene und Karzinogenese von Hautkrebs und erörtert die herkömmliche Behandlung im Vergleich zu neuartigen therapeutischen Optionen.

Objective To study the phenotype and overview the clinical management on Cleft Lip and/or Palate (CL/P) with Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS) patients in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Design Case series study. Main Outcome Measures To describe the clinical phenotype of 12 CL/P with NBCCS patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria as well as to explore clinical management. Results Seven cases (7/12, 58.33%) were classified as bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCCLP). Two cases (2/12, 16.67%) were classified as unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCCLP). Three cases (1/12, 8.33%) were classified as unilateral complete cleft lip (UCCL), submucosa cleft uvula (SCU), and bifid uvula (BU), respectively. The ratio of male/female was 9/3. Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) were presented in all 12 cases. The most common site was the mandible region (12/12, 100%) followed by the maxilla region (7/12, 58.33%). The diagnostic age of 12 NBCCS with CL/P ranged from 11 to 42 years old (usually postponed to the occurring of KCOTs). The delayed diagnosis of NBCCS can be attributed to its complicated clinical manifestations. In some cases, the mutual effect between the surgical therapy of removing KCOTs and alveolar bone grafting made the team approach (TA) of CL/P more complicated. Conclusion CL/P may become important clinical phenotype in NBCCS. The type of cleft varied, with bilateral cleft lip and palate comprising above 50%. Larger sample sizes are needed to study and confirm this result. KCOTs, as one of the most common clinical feature of NBCCS, make the diagnosis delayed and the TA more difficult because of the occurring time and site. This compels us to improve the diagnostic criteria to make an early diagnosis and explore a better therapeutic protocol for CL/P.

Abstract Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant tumor originating from non- keratinizing cells originating from the basal layer of the epidermis. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor, nearly 90% of all non-melanoma skin cancers. Clinically, BCC is difficult to distinguish, final diagnosis determined based on histopathological examination of complete tumor tissue. Based on histological growth patterns, BCC is divided into two, non- aggressive type (nodular and superficial) and aggressive type (infiltration, micronodular, fibroepithelial, basoskuamosa, keratotic, adnexal differentiation). The examination technique by analyzing the proteins or genes involved is related to the aggressiveness of basal cell carcinoma. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the comparison of expression of Bcl-2 in periocular basal type aggressive and non-aggressive carcinomas in dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. Methodology: A cross sectional analytic study from 26 periocular basal cell carcinoma patients in RSUP dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang, January 2014- June 2018. Histopathologic features were examined with hematoxylin-eosine staining and imunohistochemical were examined with Bcl-2 monoclonal antibody. Data were analyzed by bivariate analysis, using chi-square test and fisher exact test. Results: Positive Bcl-2 expression was more common in periocular basal cell carcinoma (93.8%) than aggressive (50%), and nodular type (93.8%) compared to other types of histological differentiation. Positive Bcl-2 expression was also higher in female patients (90.9%) than males (66.7%). There is a significant relationship between expression of Bcl-2 and growth patterns, differentiation of cell histology and also sex of patients with basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: In this study, there was a significant correlation between expression of Bcl-2 and aggressive and non-aggressive periocular basal cell carcinoma in RSUP dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang.

FNAC is commonly used in endocrinology, otorhinolaryngology and other areas, especially for evaluation of thyroid nodules, head and neck masses, enlarged lymph nodes and salivary gland abnormalities. Although FNAC is not a common practice in dermatology routine, in this prospective study, ninety-eight patients presenting with palpable lesions were submitted to FNAC and biopsy at the same time. The majority of cases (82 patients) were diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma on cytology, and had 100% of agreement with histopathology. Three cases presented as insufficient material in FNAC and all of them were diagnosed as superficial basal cell carcinoma in histopathology. All cases of squamous cell carcinoma (6 patients) were diagnosed accurately by FNAC. Two cases in our series were diagnosed as keratoacanthoma and due to the clinical correlation with cytopathology the report addressed this compatibility in a note; without the clinic it would be impossible to infer this diagnosis. All four cases of molluscum contagiosum showed characteristic cytopathological aspects and also had 100% of agreement with histopathology. The main potential use appears to be fastest results and confirmation of clinical diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma to allow immediate referral for surgery. FNAC could also prove itself useful when the clinical diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum is among the clinical hypotheses, allowing to confirm it by viewing the characteristic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (molluscum bodies, or Henderson-Paterson bodies). The number of repeat out-patient clinic attendances could thus be reduced and valuable time saved on biopsy lists.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human malignancy, accounting for the majority of all non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). In the past several decades the worldwide incidence of BCC has constantly been increasing. Even though it is a slow growing tumour that, left untreated, rarely metastasizes, it has a distinctive invasive growth pattern, posing a considerable risk for local invasion and destruction of underlying tissues, such as muscle, cartilage, bone or vital structures. Advanced BCCs include such locally invasive or metastatic tumours. Complete surgical excision is the standard therapy for most uncomplicated BCC cases with good prognosis and cure rates. Treatment of advanced forms of BCCs poses significant therapeutic challenges, most often requiring complicated surgery, radiotherapy, and/or targeted therapies directed towards the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway (SHH). We present two cases of large BCCs located on the scalp and posterior thorax, which underwent surgical excision with clear margins, followed by reconstruction of the defect after extensive undermining of the skin.

BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently encountered neoplasm worldwide. While nodular BCC is the most frequent clinical subtype, other forms of BCC, such as superficial, cystic, morpheiform, infiltrative, and pigmented may also be encountered.CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 67-year-old male with a relatively well-defined infiltrative, pigmented plaque with multiple colours and peripheral growth situated in the right axillary region. The histopathologic examination performed after complete surgical excision of the tumour revealed a complex pigmented BCC with macronodular, fibroepithelioma-like, cystic, focally infiltrative and basosquamous features.CONCLUSION: Uncommon locations of BCCs in sun-protected areas such as the axillary region require a higher degree of suspicion for diagnosis. The complex histology of the presented case, including subtypes with differing biologic attributes, emphasises the importance of histopathological examination in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of BCC.
