Basal Cell Carcinoma, chrysalides-like structures, oncogenes, and sebaceous nevus: some considerations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dermoscopy is increasingly used to diagnose non-melanocytic skin tumors. Basal cell carcinoma presents some highly suggestive structures for its diagnosis. The presence of chrysalides-like structures is also frequently found in other benign and malignant skin tumors, and their significance in basal cell carcinoma has yet to be determined. HPV is a virus with oncogenic potential and its involvement in the pathogenesis of basal cell carcinomas is also not yet clearly understood.

Sebaceous Nevus of Jadassohn is a hamartoma that is a combination of epidermal, follicular, sebaceous and apocrine gland abnormalities. Classically, several types of malignant and benign cutaneous neoplasms have been associated with this hamartoma. Due to the absence of a complete study in Iran for analysis of sebaceous Nevus(SN) incidence, its associated malignancy and developmental d...
متن کاملFatal Metastatic Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Evolving from a Localized Verrucous Epidermal Nevus
A malignant transformation is known to occur in many nevi such as a sebaceous nevus or a basal cell nevus, but a verrucous epidermal nevus has only rarely been associated with neoplastic changes. Keratoacanthoma, multifocal papillary apocrine adenoma, multiple malignant eccrine poroma, basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) have all been reported to develop from a ver...

Nevus sebaceous is known by its association with one or more secondary tumors, but more than three multiple tumors arising from a nevus sebaceous is extremely rare. A 67-year-old female presented with a light brown plaque on the back of her head that contained a dome-shaped black node and an erosive lesion. Histopathological examination showed atypical basaloid cells in the black node. At the p...
متن کاملBasal Cell Carcinoma Arising on a Verrucous Epidermal Nevus: A Case Report
We report a case of basal cell carcinoma that appeared from an epidermal verrucous nevus in a 61-year-old patient. The onset of basal cell carcinoma in sebaceous nevi, basal cell nevi and dysplastic nevi is relatively common, but it is rarely associated with epidermal verrucous nevi. There is no consensus on whether the two lesions have a common cellular origin or whether they merely represent ...
