Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet light is an important risk factor for BCC development and the disorder therefore develops commonly on body areas that are more exposed to sunlight, such as the face and neck. It is uncommon in the closed area of the body and quite rare in the perianal and genital regions. Herein, we report a 34-year-old patient with perianal BCC who had no additional risk factors.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a commonly encountered dermatologic entity by general surgical pathologists and dermatopatholgists alike and usually does not pose a diagnostic dilemma. However, BCC can take on a variety of histopathologic morphologies, sometimes mimicking more malignant entities. We present an unusual case of BCC with a rare morphology. Methods A 56-year-old male with history of non-melanoma skin cancer presented to his dermatologist with a 5mm pink, pearly, papule on his left forearm. A biopsy was performed, and histology and immunohistochemistry was utilized to evaluate and characterize the neoplasm. Results H&E stained histopathologic sections demonstrated an unusual epithelioid neoplasm with infiltrative growth, peripheral palisading of atypical basaloid cells, and areas of prominent rhabdoid/plasmacytoid cytology reminiscent of myoepithelial cells. The neoplasm was diffusely positive for Ber-Ep4 while SMA highlighted the areas with rhabdoid/plasmacytoid appearance. Mart-1 and SOX-10 were positive in only a few bland intralesional melanocytes. Conclusion The histological appearance was concerning for melanoma with rhabdoid morphology or an unusual variant of basal cell carcinoma. Positive Ber-Ep4 staining supported the histological impression of an unusual basal cell carcinoma variant while staining for SMA supported the impression of myoepithelial differentiation. Myoepithelial differentiation is extremely rare in BCC with only 16 prior cases described in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of BCC with myoepithelial differentiation presenting outside the face. Consequently, this is an important diagnostic differential to consider when evaluating epithelial neoplasms with rhabdoid or plasmacytoid morphology.

Background: Despite its increased incidence and status as the most prevalent cancer in Canada, there is a paucity of epidemiological data on non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Objective: To assess trends of keratinocyte carcinomas (KC) in Canada over 5 decades. Methods: Articles published from 1960 to 2015 on NMSC in Canada were identified through MEDLINE. Six articles met our search criteria. Results: Overall, KC has increased. However, the rate of increase in the past decade has slowed down and decreased in younger age cohorts. Men had higher incidences of KC. In both sexes, the basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma ratio was ≥2.5:1. Keratinocyte carcinomas were most commonly located on the head and neck, and increasing rates are occurring on the trunk. Limitations: The methods of registering skin cancer cases vary among different provinces. Conclusion: Keratinocyte carcinomas incidence is overall increasing; however, there may be evidence that the incidence is leveling off and decreasing in younger age cohorts.

Summary Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent non-melanoma skin cancer. Only 5-15% of BCC cases can be found in patients aged 20-40 years (so-called early onset). The early onset BCC is characterized by active and aggressive tumour growth, clinically presenting in most of the cases as a morpheaform, locally infiltrating or recurrent BCC. Despite the advances in the study of the pathogenesis of this tumour, surgery remains the most used, most effective and most suitable treatment modality. We describe a case of a 39-year-old woman who developed an early onset BCC of the nasolabial fold. After the subsequent surgical excision an excellent cosmetic result was achieved.

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.
