Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) are commonly used for the management of raised intraventricular pressure, especially in the context of hydrocephalus. Malignant invasion involving a VPS is an exceedingly rare association, only reported three times in the literature to date. We present the involvement of a VPS with a recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCC), which has not been described previously. It was theorized that previously breached tissue planes associated with the VPS tract might facilitate local spread of the BCC. As such, this case represented an exceedingly rare association that has important conceptual implications for definitive surgical management. A 51-year-old paraplegic man with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, who had been immunosuppressed for 7 years following a renal transplantation, presented to our clinic with a recurrent BCC involving an inactive VPS in the right neck. Surgical management involved an excision of the scar with a peripheral margin of 1 cm, along with removal of the involved shunt tract and intraoperative pathologic assessment. Definitive histopathology revealed a focus of infiltrating sclerosing BCC involving the subcutaneous tissue and abutting the VPS. As the scope for synthetic materials in surgery continues to expand, so does the multitude of interesting complications that appear to arise from interactions between host tissue and foreign bodies. This case report describes a fascinating relationship between a recurrent BCC and a VPS, providing a guide for future management to ensure adequate surgical clearance. The case would be of interest to head/neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and plastic surgeons.

Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma

Skin cancers are the most common malignant tumors in general. The most significant risk factor is exposure to UV radiation. They mainly occur in the head and neck region, and the majority of about 80% are basal cell carcinomas. Surgery is standard treatment of uncomplicated basal cell carcinomas, but a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in advanced cases. The case report refers to a patient with locally advanced recurrent basal cell carcinoma with primary tumor localization in the right auricle and parotid region in 2012 when primary surgery was performed. Due to the local recurrence, amputation of the right auricle and trepanation of the mastoid process was done in November 2018, and after that, radiation therapy of a recurrent tumor in the area of the trepanation cavity was applied. In the course of follow-up so far, there is good local control, without signs of toxicity. The case report points to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of radiotherapy in the treatment and control of advanced basal cell carcinoma of this region.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently occurring malignant periocular tumor. The aim of treatment remains surgery with negative margins. We report a case of 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with BCC of internal canthus of the right eye, in October 2011. The patient was treated by surgical resection in 2 steps with reconstruction by a frontal flap. The treatment resulted in complete remission without any recurrence after ten years of surgery.

Abstract Background: Reconstruction of the defect in the infraorbital area after wide excision can lead to problems such as distortion of the anatomical point and ectropion. A “reading man” flap is a recent local flap procedure, which has been used to treat this problem.Case Presentation: We report a case of keratotic basal cell carcinoma in the right infraorbital area. After wide excision, a defect of 40x35 mm was found, which was very close to the lid margin and close to the bottom of the eyebrow, which was reconstructed by reading man flap with slight modifications. Our modification is to extend the leg flap laterally, to avoid the lower part of the brow. So that the eyebrows are still protected from the flap incision.Conclusion: Reading man flap as a circular defect closure option is a useful addition to the plastic surgeon's mastery of techniques for performing round periorbital defect reconstruction. Reading man flap can be designed flexibly. It is a good option for the closure of round or elliptical-shaped defects.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common eyelid malignancy, accounting for approximately 90% of malignant eyelid lesions.1 Despite its high occurrence rates, it is frequently misdiagnosed as one of the benign “lumps and bumps” that can be present on the eyelid. In the present case, a patient with a past BCC on the right upper eyelid presented with a left lower eyelid lesion which persisted for months before the patient sought evaluation by an eyecare provider. This benign-looking lash-line lesion was the only external sign of the malignancy found on the deep surface of the eyelid and later diagnosed as BCC. Case Report: A 74-year-old patient presented with a persistent eyelid lesion that was resistant to treatment for greater than 6 months. The small lesion was slightly suspicious in appearance. Further evaluation revealed a larger, more irregular lesion on the conjunctival surface of the eyelid. The patient was referred to an oculoplastic specialist for biopsy. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Once the lesion was properly diagnosed, the patient underwent Mohs micrographic surgery and eyelid reconstruction. This case will highlight the importance of prompt and thorough evaluation of suspicious eyelid lesions which are persistent and resistant to treatment in patients with a history of eyelid malignancy.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin malignancy arising from cells of the basal layer of the epithelium or from the external root sheath of the hair follicle. BCC of the digit is a rare entity. The article presents one such case of bowenoid BCC of the thumb which required amputation at the MP joint.
