A rare clinical case of a patient with fibroadenoma of the vulva’s right labium majus with a typical hystological structure of mammary grand is described. The patient noticed a tumor of the right labium majus approximately 10 years before admission. After the childbirth while breastfeeding patient noticed a whitish discharge form the tumor which looked like breast milk. At the oncologic dispensary biopsy was performed after the tumor punction, atypical basal epithelium was found, and the basal cell carcinoma was suspected. Histological examination revealed fibroadenoma with a typical hystological structure of mammary grand.

We present the case of an 80-year-old female patient with a lesion on the right antihelix of the pinna that examined in the outpatient ENT Department of our hospital. A surgical excision of the lesion was performed, under local anesthesia. We used a superficial based pre- auricular flap to reconstruct the defect. The final postoperative result was satisfactory. The histological examination revealed a basal cell carcinoma.

SUMMARY Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC), as described in 1910, is a distinctive variety of skin cancer and its etiology and pathological characteristics have generated much controversy over the years. Currently, BSC is considered a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) subtype with aggressive behavior and greater tendency for recurrence and metastases. We present a clinical case recently reported in our unit.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, with a very low incidence of metastases, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The morpheaform clinical variant is uncommon, presenting an aggressive growth pattern. Early diagnosis and new targeted therapies for metastatic disease are important to improve survival rates. We present the case of a 29-year-old patient with morpheaform basal cell carcinoma in the right genian region. Due to local recurrences, he underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. For extensive metastatic bone involvement, the patient started vismodegib and, later, pembrolizumab, and also performed palliative radiotherapy. Despite several lines of systemic therapy, the disease progressed, and the patient died after 8 years of follow-up. This case shows how crucial it is to identify risk factors for metastatic basal cell carcinoma and highlights the need to improve target therapies and tailor them to the patient’s biological profile.

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.

We herein present a case of annular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with spontaneous regression on the right temporal region of a 56-year-old Japanese male. Histopathological examination revealed that the central section had no tumor cells. The sweat glands, follicles, and other cutaneous appendages were also absent. This pattern of spontaneous regression is quite uncommon, and understanding the histopathology may be important for future approaches to BCC.

Abstract Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of cutaneous cancer. In majority of cases it is locally invasive with slow growth, ranging in size from a couple of milimeters to a couple of centimeters and located primarily on sun-exposed regions. Giant basal cell carcinoma, defined as a tumor that is larger than 5 cm in diameter, is a very rare type of cutaneous malignancy accounting for 0.5-1% of all basal cell carcinomas. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a 17 x 14 cm giant basal cell carcinoma in the right supraclavicular region. Detailed history revealed that the lesion had started as a papule 15 years before presentation. Despite its growth, the lesion was neglected until admission. Histological examination of skin lesion confirmed superficial and focally infiltrative types of basal cell carcinoma. Electron radiotherapy was administered with 54 Gy total dose delivered in 20 daily fractions which resulted in healing of lesions and adequate response. Thus, definitive radiotherapy can be just as effective as excision when the criteria are met.

Background: Basal cell carcinomas are malignant slow-growing neoplasms of the epidermal layer of the skin. They are the most common form of skin cancer, accounting for 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers. Metastasis is rare with an incidence rate of 0.0028 to 0.55%. We report a case of an 83 year old male presenting with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the right cheek. The tumour was completely excised with close margins. The patient was closely monitored clinically and on follow-up, a mass in the region of the right parotid was identified. Excision of the tail of the right parotid identified a tumour with similar subtype to the primary tumour excised from the cheek confirming diagnosis of metastatic BCC. Methods: A literature search was carried out inclusive of the terms identify existing data and guidelines to determine best evidence based practice. Discussion: Literature search identified aetiology of BCCs and methods of diagnosis and treatment. The search also highlighted an incidence rate of 0.0028 to 0.55% and complications associated with metastasis. The patient underwent a course of radiotherapy as surgery in this case was contraindicated due to history of excision of the parotid tail. Risk factors for developing BCCs include intermittent sun exposure, ionising radiation, genetic predisposition and immunosuppression. Metastases occurs via the lymphatic system or haematogenously. Surgery is the main form of treatment and aims to be curative.
