background:non-melanoma skin cancer (nmsc), the most prevalent types being squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), is the most common type of malignancy in human beings. these neoplasms are more frequent in the elderly and fair skinned people and mainly occur on sun-exposed sites of the body. ultraviolet b (uvb) has a well-known effect in induction and promotion of growth ...

background and aim: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common skin neoplasm and the most common type of cancer. since the incidence of injury is taken into consideration in the pathologic diagnosis, the study of clinical and microscopic views of bcc is of particular importance. the present study aimed at determining the frequency of clinical and microscopic views of bcc in a 10-year period ...

Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is defined as a tumor 5cm or greater in diameter. They present less than 1% of all basal cell carcinomas. We present a case of an 85-year-old male patient with a giant ulcerating tumor of the left forehead (measuring 7x6 cm). Under local anesthesia tumor was surgically excised. No involvement of the underlying periostal or bone structure was noted. Pathohystolo...

background and objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc) are two common tumors of the skin. in some cases, distinction between bcc and scc can be difficult. this study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. in this respect, epithelial membrane antigen (ema) and ber-ep4 are the two immunohistochemical markers on which we focus in dif...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous regression of small basal cell carcinoma has been reported. For giant basal cell carcinoma, however, no spontaneous regression has been described to date. CASE REPORT We present a patient with two independent giant basal cell carcinomas over the left clavicle and the lower back, measuring 7 x 12 cm and 18 x 20 cm, respectively. Both tumors were excised incompletely (R2)...

Basal cell skin cancer, or basal carcinoma (BCC), is the most common malignant tumor originating from keratinocytes hair follicles. Giant BCCs are neoplasms sized more than 5 cm with a greater tendency to invasion and metastasis "standard" (sized less cm). Two foci in one person at same time rarely occur. This paper describes 69-year-old woman lesions affecting left scapula 20×10 xiphoid proces...
