Perianal Basal Cell Carcinoma

Perianal Basal Cell Carcinoma

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-...

Perianal basal cell carcinoma: An uncommon localization.

To the Editor, Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common cutaneous malignancies. Although it constitutes 75% of non-melanoma cutaneous malignancies, it develops in the perianal region in less than 1% of cases (1,2). Even though histopathologic findings of BCC developing in the perianal region are similar to those of BCC seen in other regions, perianal cancers behave much more aggress...

Basal cell carcinoma of the lower extremities

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer, usually occurs in the sun-exposed areas of the body like head and neck, yet is also seen in unexpected sites. Myriad studies have mentioned a lower limb BCC incidence rate of 1.5-13.5%.Methods: The present retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 650 BCC patients, who were referred to the dermatology tumor ...

ANGIOGENESIS ASSESSMENT IN BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is currently the most common cutaneous cancer found in humans. Although it generally shows a relatively benign course (BCCl), some cases show aggressive behavior (BCC2). Until recently, traditional histologic diagnostic criteria have failed to discriminate unequivocally between BCC 1 and BCC2. In this study we selected 50 cases of BCC and categorized them into tw...
