We investigated in detail the dermoscopic and histopathological findings in a case of a superficial type of multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). These multiple lesions (occurring in the chest, neck, and back) showed three different findings, respectively. Dermoscopy of the erythematous and brown-colored patch on the anterior chest showed spoke wheel areas, and the histopathological cross-section revealed vertical spoke wheel structures. In the black- and brown-colored patch at the neck, the dermatoscopy showed a maple leaf-like structure, which was in accordance with the strengthening of the histological lateral connection of the lesion. The brown-colored patch of the lateral back histologically showed irregularly enlarged spoke wheel-like areas with peripheral increased melanin pigments, which correlated with the dark black color of dermoscopic maple leaf-like areas. The vertical spoke wheel areas by dermatoscopy revealed a horizontal spoke wheel structure by histopathology.

Malignant mesenchymal tumors of oropharyngeal mucosa are rare. Those with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation in the skin are called atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and in the soft tissue undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Here we present a case of an older patient with a history of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recently with a rapidly growing polypoid lesion in the mucosa of posterior oropharyngeal wall with AFX/UPS morphology. The differential diagnosis, histological pitfalls of this poorly characterized mesenchymal lesions, and the challenges associated with treatment are discussed.

Gorlin's Syndrome: Case Report and Management ProtocolGorlin's syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal, dominant syndrome, characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, a characteristic facial appearance, skeletal anomalies and malignancies of various organs throughout the body. We describe a 14-year-old girl with GS and propose a management protocol.
