[Title] Skin cancers and wounds in the geriatric population: a review.

Diagnosis of wound malignancy often remains elusive and is of particular concern in the geriatric population because the average age for presentation of squamous cell cancer is 70 years.

Basal and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as Marjolin's ulcer, may look like a chronic or acute wound, can develop in the wound itself, or be found in the scar tissue of these wounds.

A complete patient history should include questions about sun exposure and personal and family history of skin cancer.

Some wounds exhibit typical clinical signs of cancer - ie, raised borders, crusting - but many do not, making diagnosis more challenging.

An accurate diagnosis is crucial to positive treatment outcomes.

[Title] Histopathological and clinical-progressive profile of skin carcinomas: study on 1688 cases.

Skin carcinomas represent 90-95% of skin cancers.

With the objective of identifying the histopathological and clinical-progressive profile of skin carcinomas, we undertook a retrospective study over a period of seven years, which included a total of 1688 patients with carcinoma of the skin, hospitalized and treated in Craiova Dermatology Clinic between January 1999 and December 2006.

Patient data such as identification data, environment, profession, phototype, location of cancer, history of the disease, clinical diagnosis, histopathological diagnosis and response to treatment were included in clinical charts.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was diagnosed in a total of 1162 patients, representing 68.84% of cases taken to the study.

The most common clinical forms were: pearly BCC (37.95%), nodular BCC (29%), and superficial BCC (22.03%).

Regarding the histological type, the most frequent forms were: BCC polymorphic (29.95%), BCC solid (24.96%), and keratinized BCC (19.97%).

Epidermoid carcinoma (EC) was encountered in a total of 482 patients, representing 28.55% of all cases.

Metatypical carcinoma (MC) was found in 44 patients (2.61%).

This type of cancer did not presented clinical particular signs, the diagnosis was strictly pathological.

[Title] Quality-of-life outcomes of treatments for cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Quality of life is an important treatment outcome for conditions that are rarely fatal, such as cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (typically called nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC)).

The main outcome was tumor-related quality of life 1 to 2 years after therapy, measured with the 16-item version of Skindex, a validated measure.

METHODS: Illustrated review centered on diagnosis of the usual aspects and pitfalls of eyelid pathology divided into semiological chapters (tumors, blisters, erythema, etc.).

It is mainly centered on skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adnexal carcinomas, and melanoma).

A number of rare diseases deserve mention since their presence could lead to the diagnosis of internal or systemic diseases (dermatomyositis, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, Erdheim-Chester, etc.).

In such conditions, early diagnosis is often based on the observation of isolated periocular symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS: Even though topographic dermatology is a somewhat reductive vision of skin diseases, pathology of the eyelids deserves special mention because of its polymorphism as well as its diagnostic and/or therapeutic significance.

This paper reviews the role of mast cells in the development and progression of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.

Upon irradiation of the skin, trans-urocanic acid in the epidermis isomerizes to cis-urocanic acid, which stimulates neuropeptide release from neural c-fibers.

These neuropeptides in turn trigger histamine secretion from mast cells, leading to suppression of the cellular immune system. (2) Angiogenesis: Mast cells are the major source of vascular endothelial growth factor in basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.

Vascular endothelial growth factor is one of the most potent angiogenic factors, which also induces leakage of other angiogenic factors across the endothelial cell wall into the matrix.

Mast cell proteases reorganize the stroma to facilitate endothelial cell migration.

As well, heparin, the dominant mast cell proteoglycan, assists in blood-borne metastasis. (3) Degradation of extracellular matrix: Through its own proteases, and indirectly via interaction with other cells, mast cells participate in degradation of the matrix, which is required for tumor spread. (4) Mitogenesis: Mast cell mediators including fibroblast growth factor-2 and interleukin-8 are mitogenic to melanoma cells.

Emerging data, however, also suggest that mast cells might, in fact, have opposing roles in tumor biology, and the microenvironment could polarize mast cells to possess either promoting or inhibitory effects on tumors.

[Title] Recurrent basosquamous cell carcinoma of the vulva.

BACKGROUND: Basosquamous cell carcinoma (BSC) of the vulva is a rare entity with interesting prognostic and therapeutic implications.

CONCLUSION: BSC is a rare disorder of the vulva.

The metastatic potential of this tumor is not fully understood, but likely is intermediate between squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

[Title] Basosquamous carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Basosquamous carcinoma is considered an aggressive type of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with an increased risk of recurrence and metastases.

METHODS: This is a narrative review based on a MEDLINE search of articles in English and a manual search of popular dermatology textbooks to define basosquamous carcinoma, its incidence, clinical behavior, and treatment of choice.

RESULTS: There are no specific clinical features to distinguish basosquamous carcinoma from other BCC types and the diagnosis is made only after biopsy.

There are several histologic definitions of basosquamous carcinoma ranging from a characteristic combination of BCC and squamous cell carcinoma with or without a transition zone, to any BCC with evidence of keratinization.

The authors confine the use of the term to an infiltrative growth BCC with areas of keratinization and/or intercellular bridge formation in the setting of a prototypic proliferative stromal reaction.

The term "metatypical basal cell carcinoma" is considered a synonym but its use is discouraged for the reasons outlined.

The reported incidence of basosquamous carcinoma ranges from 1.2% to 2.7%.

The aggressive biological behavior and clinical course distinguish basosquamous carcinoma from other forms of BCC.

CONCLUSION: The terminology surrounding basosquamous carcinoma is confusing and there is a need for more uniform language.

Data regarding the incidence, recurrence, and metastasis rates of basosquamous carcinoma are based mostly on retrospective series with a limited number of cases.

We conclude that although the incidence of basosquamous carcinoma is unknown, there is a literature precedent suggesting more aggressive biological behavior.

We believe that complete surgical excision is the preferred approach, and that basosquamous carcinoma is an ideal candidate lesion for Mohs micrographic surgery.

[Title] Lung metastases in a case of metatypical basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid: an illustrative case and literature review to heighten vigilance of its metastatic potential.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an extremely common malignancy; however, unlike other skin cancers, they very rarely metastasize.

Here we present an unusual case of metatypical BCC of the eyelid which metastasized to the lung nine years after initial surgical treatment.

We include a review of the literature regarding metastatic BCC and suggest that metatypical features in primary BCC should prompt careful patient monitoring and consideration of adjuvant treatment at the time of diagnosis.

[Title] Basosquamous carcinoma-an under-recognized, high-risk cutaneous neoplasm: case study and review of the literature.

Basosquamous carcinoma of the skin is a relatively rare cutaneous neoplasm that has been shown to have significant metastatic potential.

Histopathologists debate whether these lesions arise de novo or differentiate from pre-existing basal cell carcinomas.

We present a case in which a longstanding lesion initially diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma was later found to have basosquamous histology and regional metastases.

Review of the literature reveals a metastatic rate greater than that of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, and identifies several important characteristics that impact prognosis after surgical resection.

For physicians treating carcinomas of the skin, it is important to understand the natural history and proper treatment of this aggressive neoplasm.

[Title] Polymorphisms of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

Genetic instability resulting from mutations in repair genes, defects in folic acid metabolism or DNA synthesis has been reported to contribute significantly to the development of skin cancer.

Thus, the present case-control study was conducted to determine whether an association exists between the MTHFR/TS polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and/or basal cell carcinoma (BCC) among Korean individuals.

The study subjects comprised 95 patients with SCC, 100 patients with BCC and 207 controls with no evidence of malignancy or pre-malignant lesions.

Patients with skin cancer and control samples were analyzed for polymorphisms of the MTHFR or TS genes by means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.

The MTHFR 677C>T and MTHFR 1298A>C polymorphisms showed no significance with regard to the development of SCC and BCC.

However, within the 6 bp insertion (ins)/deletion (del) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the TS gene, the BCC group showed statistical significance with a 2.8-fold increased risk of cancer development [adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.821] in heterozygous mutations (0 bp/6 bp), 7.5-fold (AOR=7.539) in homozygous mutations (6 bp/6 bp) and 3-fold (AOR=3.079) upon combination of heterozygous mutations and homozygous mutations (0 bp/6 bp + 6 bp/6 bp).

We thus conclude that the 6 bp ins/del polymorphism in the 3'-UTR is associated with increased risk of the development of skin cancer among Korean individuals with BCC.

[Title] XPA, haplotypes, and risk of basal and squamous cell carcinoma.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is instrumental in removing DNA lesions caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the dominant risk factor for keratinocyte carcinoma, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

We evaluated whether BCC or SCC risk was influenced by the A23G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in Xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA), which codes for an essential protein in NER.

We also investigated whether haplotypes of XPA, determined by seven haplotype-tagging SNPs, better define susceptibility to keratinocyte carcinoma.

Incident cases of BCC and SCC from New Hampshire were identified through dermatologists and pathology laboratories.

Cases of BCC (886) and of SCC (682) were compared with controls (796).

Using GG as the reference, the A allele was less frequent among cases of BCC (OR(AG) = 0.82, 95% CI (0.66, 1.01); OR(AA)= 0.74, 95% CI (0.53, 1.03); trend test P = 0.03) and SCC (OR(AG) = 0.85, 95% CI (0.67, 1.07); OR(AA) = 0.74, 95% CI (0.52, 1.05); trend test P = 0.05) than controls.

Risk from > or =3 severe sunburns was elevated for those with the GG genotype only, and this interaction was nearly significant for BCC (P = 0.07).

Using a haplotype analysis identifying seven common XPA haplotypes indicated that the A23G polymorphism alone captured the differences in susceptibility to keratinocyte carcinoma.

The common G allele of the A23G polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of BCC and SCC and this polymorphism appeared to be the determining polymorphism in XPA that alters cancer susceptibility.

Two patients were diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid, one patient with actinic keratosis, one with intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma (Bowen's disease) and one patient had concomitant squamous cell carcinoma and intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma.

In our experience, it is a safe and effective treatment for periocular lesions, including actinic keratosis, intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

To our knowledge, this is the first published description of the successful use of 5% Imiquimod in treating moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the eyelid.

[Title] [Cutaneous basosquamous cell carcinoma].

[Transliterated title] Basosquamöses Karzinom der Haut.

BACKGROUND: Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare malignancy with specific histopathological features of both basal cell (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Therefore, the histological diagnosis is challenging.

In the case of the carcinoma on the forehead, a local excision was performed.

CONCLUSIONS: The histological diagnosis of BSC is confirmed by the use of EMA and BerEP4 immunohistological staining.

Clinically, BSC is a rare, aggressive skin tumor.

Despite the histological similarity to basal cell carcinoma, BSC has an imminent risk of metastasizing.

[Title] The higher incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in renal transplant recipients is associated with increased telomere lengths.

The incidence and aggressiveness of nonmelanoma skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), in immunocompromised renal transplant recipients (RTRs) is dramatically higher (up to 100-fold) compared with the normal population.

SCC lesions are also predominant in RTRs, in contrast to the normal population where basal cell carcinoma is more common.

The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unknown, but effective treatments for these skin tumors would have a significant impact upon morbidity in this group of patients.

The fundamental role of telomeres and telomerase in the development of most human cancers, including melanoma, is well established, but very few reports have assessed their function during the onset of nonmelanoma skin cancer.

To assess whether telomere maintenance plays any role in the increased incidence of SCC in renal transplant patients, we analyzed both the telomere lengths and telomerase expression levels in 44 SCCs and 22 Bowen's disease (BD) samples (carcinoma in situ) from RTRs and nontransplant patients.

[Title] Two cases of neoplasia of basal cell origin affecting the axillary region in anseriform species.

Neoplasms of the skin are occasionally seen in domestic birds but are uncommon in nondomestic birds.

Skin biopsies were taken, and bilateral feather folliculomas were diagnosed on histopathologic examination.

This mass was diagnosed as a basosquamous carcinoma.

Basosquamous carcinoma may have a similar gross appearance.

This appears to be the first report of feather folliculoma and basosquamous carcinoma in Anseriforme species.

Feather folliculomas and other neoplasms, such as basosquamous carcinoma, should be considered as a differential diagnosis in ulcerative or proliferative skin lesions in birds.

[Title] Comparative analysis of immunohistochemical markers with invasiveness and histologic differentiation in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

BACKGROUND: This study evaluates several tumor-related markers to examine the expression pattern of markers according to the invasiveness and histopathologic differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.

METHODS: Ninety-four cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 108 cases of basal cell carcinoma using tissue array in order to determine correlations between the expression of Ki-67, p53, EGFR, CD44v6, MMP-1 and MMP-3, invasiveness and histologic differentiation.

RESULTS: The depth of invasion showed a correlation with CD44v6 expression of tumor cell in both squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma (P = 0.009, P = 0.036, respectively) and with the MMP-1 expression of stromal cell in squamous cell carcinoma (P = 0.010).

The differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma was correlated with Ki-67 index.

The loss of palisading arrangement in basal cell carcinoma was correlated with the MMP-1 expression of stromal cells (P = 0.045).

CONCLUSIONS: CD44v6 and MMP-1, expressed in tumor cells and stromal cells respectively, are significant markers associated with the invasiveness of tumors in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin and that it will be helpful to evaluate the invasiveness by measuring the expression of these markers.

[Title] Genetic tumor archeology: microdissection and genetic heterogeneity in squamous and basal cell carcinoma.

Skin cancer provides an advantageous model for studying the development of cancer.

Detectable lesions occur early during tumor progression, facilitating molecular analysis of the cell populations from both preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions.

Alterations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are very common in non-melanoma skin cancer, and dysregulation of p53 pathways appear to be an early event in the tumor development.

A high frequency of epidermal p53 clones has been detected in chronically sun-exposed skin.

The abundance of clones containing p53 mutated keratinocytes adjacent to basal cell (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) suggests a role in human skin carcinogenesis.

Microdissection-based studies have also shown that different parts of individual BCC tumors can share a common p53 mutation yet differ with respect to additional alterations within the p53 gene, consistent with subclonal development within tumors.

Here, we present examples of using well-defined cell populations, including single cells, from complex tissue in combination with molecular tools to reveal features involved in skin carcinogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Atypical cellular neurothekeoma is a rare neoplasm generally regarded as a benign tumor with locally aggressive behavior.

Recurrence is common with inadequate excision, but metastatic disease has yet to be reported.

RESULTS: The neoplasm was extirpated in a three-stage, five section Mohs surgery procedure.

CONCLUSION: Mohs micrographic surgery is unsurpassed in its efficacy in treating a wide variety of nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Although most commonly used to address basal and squamous cell carcinoma, it has also been reported as a successful treatment for melanoma and a wide variety of cutaneous malignancies.

Debate in the literature is ongoing regarding the true histogenesis of this rare tumor.

Because of this tumor's local destructive behavior and propensity to recur with inadequate resection, we recommend Moths micrographic surgery for the treatment of cellular neurothekeomas.

[Title] Electrochemotherapy for cutaneous and subcutaneous tumor lesions: a novel therapeutic approach.

Electroporation uses pulsed, high-intensity electric fields to temporarily increase cell membrane permeability by creation of pores, through which small molecules, such as chemotherapeutic agents, can diffuse inside cells before they reseal.

ECT has already been proven to be effective in diverse tumor histotypes, including melanoma and basal and squamous cell carcinoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and breast cancer, also in those cases nonresponding to classical chemotherapies or other loco-regional treatment modalities, with a good safety profile.

ECT can be proposed as loco-regional therapy for disseminated cutaneous and subcutaneous tumor lesions as alternative treatment modality to conventional therapies or as palliative care, in order to improve patients' quality of life.

[Title] Geographic variation and risk of skin cancer in US women. Differences between melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Occurrences of melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have been associated with varying geography.

Our goal was to evaluate differences in risk of these skin cancers according to residence at varying UV indices at 3 time points.

The outcome measure was diagnosis of melanoma, SCC, or BCC.

RESULTS: During the 18-year study, 420 cases of melanoma, 863 cases of SCC, and 8215 cases of BCC occurred.

Although elevated, the age-adjusted risk of BCC at 30 years of age associated with residence in these states was substantially less.

CONCLUSIONS: The risk of SCC is independently affected by residence in locations with medium and high UV indices; the gradient of risk is weaker for BCC; and the risk of melanoma does not change significantly across this gradient.

[Title] Topical imiquimod or fluorouracil therapy for basal and squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVES: To conduct a systematic review to determine clearance rates and adverse effects of topical imiquimod or fluorouracil therapy in the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers such as basal (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and to develop recommendations for the use of topical imiquimod or fluorouracil to treat BCC and SCC.

STUDY SELECTION: Prospective, retrospective, and case studies in English containing a minimum of 4 subjects and a 6-month follow-up or posttreatment histologic evaluation.

DATA EXTRACTION: We calculated the rate of clearance and adverse effects for BCC subtypes and invasive and in situ SCC treated with topical imiquimod or fluorouracil.

Imiquimod use produced the following clearance rates: 43% to 100% for superficial BCC, 42% to 100% for nodular BCC, 56% to 63% for infiltrative BCC, 73% to 88% for SCC in situ, and 71% for invasive SCC.

Fluorouracil use produced the following clearance rates: 90% for superficial BCC and 27% to 85% for SCC in situ.

CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supports the use of topical imiquimod as monotherapy for superficial BCC and topical fluorouracil as monotherapy for superficial BCC and SCC in situ.

Actinic keratoses are premalignant lesions that increase in frequency with each decade of life and have the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma.

Non-melanoma skin cancers, such as squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, also represent sun-related conditions that require early and aggressive treatment.

The following case-based review represents typical situations where multiple treatments were combined to manage actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma in patients over an extended treatment period.

[Title] The effect of c-myc on stem cell fate influences skin tumor phenotype.

Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) consist of a variety of tumor types including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, a variety of hair follicle tumors, and sebaceous gland tumors.

Our goal in the current study was to determine if alterations in the commitment of multipotent stem cells to different cell fates would influence tumor phenotype.

BACKGROUND: During Mohs surgery, there are instances in which residual tumor cells may be difficult to detect, thereby increasing the risk of incomplete excision and tumor recurrence.

RESULTS: Various immunostains have proved useful in detecting tumor cells in various malignancies, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, extramammary Paget's disease, primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma, granular cell tumor, and trichilemmal carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: In this article, we review immunohistochemical stains that have been employed in Mohs micrographic surgery and evaluate their utility in enhancing detection of residual tumors with respect to tumor type, particularly in situations in which detection of residual tumor may be difficult.

[Title] The different telomere lengths in basal and squamous cell carcinomas also differ between the nontransplant and renal transplant population.

Renal transplant recipients incur markedly higher rates of nonmelanoma skin cancer, including both basal and squamous cell carcinoma, by unknown mechanisms that are thought to be activated by long-term immunosuppression.

These tumors typically arise in sun-exposed areas of the skin and are biologically more aggressive in renal transplant recipients compared with nontransplant patients.

Interestingly also, the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma is generally 2- to 3-fold higher than that of basal cell carcinoma in renal transplant recipients, which is a reversal of the trend in the nontransplant population.

We have shown in a previous report that the increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in renal transplant patients is characterized by increased telomere lengths when compared with the same tumors in the nontransplant population.

In our current study, we performed a similar analysis of a cohort of 35 basal cell carcinoma samples from both the renal transplant and nontransplant patient groups.

We find that, in contrast to the situation in squamous cell carcinoma, the telomeres of the basal cell carcinomas in renal transplant recipients are in fact shorter than their counterparts in the nontransplant population, but also that these lengths are considerably longer in both cases than their squamous cell counterparts.

This is the first report to comprehensively show that the telomere lengths significantly differ between basal and squamous cell carcinomas.

These data also suggest that future treatment strategies for nonmelanoma skin cancers that are based upon telomerase inhibition, including those arising in transplant patients, may require different approaches for these two different skin lesions.

[Title] Perineural tumor spread.

Perineural spread (PNS) refers to the extent of tumor cells or other nonneoplastic lesions along the tissues of the nerve sheath, its overall incidence ranges from 2.5% to 5%.

PNS is more frequently associated with carcinoma arising from minor or major salivary glands (more often adenoid cystic carcinoma), mucosal or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.

Therefore, radiologists must be aware of the relevant cranial nerve anatomy and thoroughly scrutinize not only the nerves close to the primary tumor site but also the whole neural pathways that can be accessed by PNS.

Equally critical is knowledge of the radiologic appearance of perineural tumor extension and the best imaging strategies to detect PNS.

[Title] [Relevance of cell culture models in cutaneous tumour biology. Part I: tumour cell lines].

[Transliterated title] Stellenwert der Zellkulturmodelle in kutaner Tumorbiologie. Teil I: Zelllinien tumorigen transformierter Zellen.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, much like all other human solid tumors, result from a multi-step process in which genetic and epigenetic changes accumulate in the affected cells.

Cell culture models are a very valuable experimental system.

Tumor cell lines display similar functional hierarchy as tumors or tissues in vivo and can, consequently, provide a crucial source of minor cell subsets, like tumor stem cells.

Progression series of clonally related cell lines offer the opportunity to follow the process of sequential acquisition of transformation-related traits up to the development of properties with direct clinical equivalents, like tumorigenicity and metastatic competence.

While for most studies, human transformed cell lines are the model of choice, there are questions for which animal cell lines are strongly preferred, such as interactions between the tumor and the immune system.

To properly interpret the results of all experiments with classical two-dimensional cell culture, a possible danger of artifacts due to grossly unnatural environment must be constantly taken into account.

[Title] Genus beta human papillomaviruses and incidence of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas of skin: population based case-control study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between genus beta human papillomaviruses and the incidence of non-melanocytic skin cancer in the general population.

PARTICIPANTS: 2366 skin cancer cases and controls from the general population aged 25 to 74 years (663 squamous cell carcinoma, 898 basal cell carcinoma, 805 controls), with plasma samples tested for L1 antibodies to 16 genus beta human papillomaviruses by multiplex serology.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Odds ratios for squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma associated with seropositivity to beta human papillomaviruses.

RESULTS: Squamous cell carcinoma, but not basal cell carcinoma, cases had a higher prevalence of each of the individual beta human papillomaviruses assayed compared with controls.

The odds ratios for squamous cell carcinoma increased with the number of beta types positive (odds ratio for one type positive 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.74 to 1.33); two to three types positive 1.44 (1.03 to 2.01); four to eight types positive 1.51 (1.03 to 2.20); more than eight types positive 1.71 (1.12 to 2.62); P for trend (categorical)<0.001; P for trend (continuous)=0.003).

CONCLUSIONS: These findings support a relation between genus beta human papillomavirus infection and the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in the general population, as well as potential enhancement of risk by immunosuppression.

[Title] Adipophilin expression in sebaceous tumors and other cutaneous lesions with clear cell histology: an immunohistochemical study of 117 cases.

This study examines adipophilin expression in various sebaceous lesions and other cutaneous tumors with a clear cell histology that may mimic sebaceous differentiation.

A total of 117 cutaneous clear cell lesions including 16 sebaceous adenomas, 25 sebaceous carcinomas, 8 basal cell carcinomas, 12 squamous cell carcinomas, 6 xanthomas, 10 xanthelasmas, 10 xanthogranulomas, 4 balloon cell nevi, 5 trichilemmomas, 8 clear cell hidradenomas, and 13 metastatic renal cell carcinomas were examined using immunohistochemistry for the expression of adipophilin.

Adipophilin was expressed in 16 of 16 (100%) sebaceous adenomas, 23 of 25 (92%) sebaceous carcinomas, 10 of 10 (100%) xanthelasmas, 9 of 10 (90%) xanthogranulomas, 6 of 6 (100%) xanthomas, and 9 of 13 (62.5%) metastatic renal cell carcinomas.

Adipophilin expression was not seen in any of the other lesions with clear cell histology, basal cell carcinomas, or squamous cell carcinomas, including cases that had focal clear cell differentiation.

Adipophilin can be valuable in an immunohistochemical panel when evaluating cutaneous lesions with clear cell histology as it identifies intracytoplasmic lipid vesicles in sebaceous and xanthomatous lesions.

In periocular lesions, it is effective in helping to exclude basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma when sebaceous carcinoma is under consideration.

Adipophilin expression is not as useful for the differential diagnosis that includes metastatic renal cell carcinoma, a rare but important, diagnostic differential.

[Title] Microcystic adnexal carcinoma: an immunohistochemical reappraisal.

Even though immunohistochemical comparisons of microcystic adnexal carcinoma vs infiltrative basal cell carcinoma and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma exist, they are mostly restricted to the use of a single stain.

In addition, a comparison with squamous cell carcinoma has not been reported previously.

In this study, we compare the expression of cytokeratin (CK) 15, CK7, CK20, CK903, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CD10, CD15 and BerEP4 in 13 microcystic adnexal carcinoma, eight desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, 10 infiltrative basal cell carcinoma, and eight squamous cell carcinoma of which five exhibited ductal differentiation.

We found that the majority of microcystic adnexal carcinoma (92%) and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (100%) cases expressed CK15 while the infiltrative basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma cases were all negative.

Forty percent of infiltrative basal cell carcinoma expressed CK7; while only two microcystic adnexal carcinoma cases (15%) and one squamous cell carcinoma with ductal differentiation (12%) expressed CK7 in the remaining three tumor categories.

While the neoplastic cells were negative, luminal staining of ductal structures was noted for CK7, CD15 and CEA in some of the microcystic adnexal carcinoma, desmoplastic trichoepithelioma and squamous cell carcinoma with ductal differentiation cases.

Sixty percent of infiltrative basal cell carcinoma, 31% of microcystic adnexal carcinoma, and 25% of squamous cell carcinoma express CD10.

BerEP4 expression was noted in 38% of microcystic adnexal carcinoma, 57% of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, 100% of infiltrative basal cell carcinoma, and 38% of squamous cell carcinoma.

In conclusion, we found CK15 to be a useful marker in distinguishing microcystic adnexal carcinoma from infiltrative basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma with ductal differentiation.

Our experience indicates that microcystic adnexal carcinoma and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma have a similar immunohistochemical profile that is, CK15+ and BerEP4+/-; thus, additional studies are needed to separate these two entities.

The DeltaN-p63 isoforms of p63, which are believed to behave as oncogenes, are expressed in squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and transitional cell carcinoma.

We studied 66 cases of thymoma (1 type A, 8 type AB, 12 type B1, 19 type B2, 12 type B3, and 14 type C/thymic carcinoma) and 10 specimens of normal human thymus arranged in tissue microarrays.

All thymomas (including thymic carcinomas) were positive for p63 regardless of type.

[Title] Basosquamous carcinoma: treatment with Mohs micrographic surgery.

BACKGROUND: Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare tumor defined as a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) differentiating into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

METHODS: The prospective, multicenter case series included all patients in Australia treated with MMS for BSC, who were monitored by the Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia between 1993 and 2002.

The tumors were diagnosed initially as BCC in 87.4% and as SCC in 12.0% of patients.

Of 98 patients who completed a 5-year follow-up period after MMS, 4 (4.1%) had disease recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS: The low 5-year disease recurrence rate of BSC with MMS emphasized the importance of margin-controlled excision using MMS.

[Title] Microcystic adnexal carcinoma: treatment with Mohs micrographic surgery.

BACKGROUND: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is reported to have a high rate of recurrence with standard wide local excision.

METHODS: This prospective, multi-center case series included all patients in Australia treated with MMS for MAC, who were monitored by the Skin and Cancer Foundation between 1993 and 2002.

In 31.8% of cases it was a recurrent tumor.

In 32.5% of cases the tumor was initially misdiagnosed as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma.

[Title] Ultraviolet light and skin cancer in athletes.

The incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers is increasing worldwide.

Ultraviolet light exposure is the most important risk factor for cutaneous melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Nonmelanoma skin cancer includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

Constitutive skin color and genetic factors, as well as immunological factors, play a role in the development of skin cancer.

Ultraviolet light also causes sunburn and photoaging damage to the skin.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disorder characterised by hypo-/hyperpigmentation, increased sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV)-radiation and an up to 2000-fold increased skin cancer risk.

This defect accounts for their mutator phenotype but does not predict their increased skin cancer risk.

Therefore, we carried out array analysis to measure the expression of more than 1000 genes after UVB-irradiation in XP cells from three complementation groups with different clinical severity (XP-A, XP-D, XP-F) as well as from patients with normal DNA repair but increased skin cancer risk (≥2 basal or squamous cell carcinoma at age <40yrs).

Genes identified in XP cells could be confirmed in cells from patients with no known DNA repair defects but increased skin cancer risk.

[Title] Mohs micrographic surgery at the Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia, 10 years later (1997 vs 2007).

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate changes over time in the type of patients and skin cancers that are treated using MMS, and the repairs used to close the defects.

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study on patients treated with MMS at the Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia, Westmead, in 1997 against those treated in 2007.

Patient demographics (age, sex), pathology of tumor, anatomic site of the tumor, preoperative tumor size, postoperative defect size, and repair method were analyzed.

The 2007 cohort was a little older (62 vs 64 years), but there were no differences in sex, anatomic site, rate of basal/squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma histologic subtypes, or preoperative tumor size.

However, there were fewer superficial basal cell carcinomas, and the postoperative defect size was smaller in 2007 (P < .0001).

CONCLUSION: Although tumor size and the percentage of tumors in each anatomic site did not change over 10 years, the size of the defect created after MMS has become smaller.

This reduction in defect size may explain why more defects are now repaired by side-to-side closure and flap repairs whereas fewer defects are repaired by skin grafting.

[Title] The use of paramedian forehead flap reconstruction after wide excision of basal cell carcinoma of the nose.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an indolent, slow-growing malignant skin tumour.

The nose is a common site for malignant skin tumours, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma because it is exposed to the sun.

Excision of the BCC will leave the nose with a soft tissue defect which requires reconstruction.

This report illustrates a case of BCC of nose whereby a wide excision and reconstruction was performed with a paramedian forehead flap.

[Title] Bcl-XL protein is markedly decreased in UVB-irradiated basal cell carcinoma cell lines through proteasome-mediated degradation.

There is considerable evidence that the excessive ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) from sunlight is implicated in skin damage, ultimately inducing the death of keratinocytes.

If the apoptotic pathway does not work properly, the damaged cells have a chance to transform into a carcinoma, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

To develop a strategy of inducing apoptosis of skin cancer cells, the current study was performed to investigate the apoptotic pathway, especially focused on Bcl2 family proteins, in curcumin or UVB-treated basal cell carcinoma cell lines.

Our data demonstrated that the expression of Bcl-XL protein was decreased by proteasome-mediated degradation prior to change of mRNA level in UVB-induced apoptotic basal cell carcinoma cell lines, thereby these results will offer fundamental information to develop a strategy of inducing apoptosis of skin cancer cells.

Tumor types were squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, retinoblastoma, fibrosarcoma, and ectopic mixed tumor in two, one, two, one, one, and one patients, respectively, in addition to eight patients with jaw lymphoma involving the orbit, out of 24 patients reported by us.

Surgery consisted of complete excision of orbital content (exenteration) with or without partial orbitectomy in four patients and wide excision of the tumor in four patients.

Reconstruction of the defect was accomplished using various local skin flaps and temporalis muscle flap was used for augmenting the orbit in the four exenterated patients.

There is no single best method for reconstruction of the periorbital and orbital defects left after tumor resection, and different flaps applied for reconstruction had given satisfactory results related to the type and complexity of the deformity.

Currently, topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received approval for the treatment of dermato-oncologic conditions like actinic keratoses, Bowen's disease, in-situ squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma in many countries all over the world.

Due to the easy accessibility of skin to light activation, incoherent lamps or LED arrays are suitable for PDT.

Either cytotoxic effects resulting in tumor destruction or immunomodulatory effects improving inflammatory skin conditions are induced.

Treating superficial non-melanoma skin cancer, PDT has been shown to be highly efficient despite the low level of invasiveness.

[Title] Molecular biology of malignant melanoma and other cutaneous tumors.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide.

In this review, we summarize the most important genetic changes contributing to the development of malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the main tumor entities arising in the skin.

While our understanding of the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes involved in the development and progression of skin tumors is still fragmentary, recent advances have shown alterations affecting conserved signalling pathways that control cellular proliferation and viability.

[Title] Impact of radiographic findings on prognosis for skin carcinoma with clinical perineural invasion.

BACKGROUND: The objective of the current study was to correlate pretreatment computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies with outcomes for patients with squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin and clinical perineural invasion.

Patients were stratified as follows: imaging negative, 10 patients; minimal or moderate peripheral disease, 14 patients; and central and/or macroscopic disease, 21 patients.

RESULTS: The 5-year local control rates were as follows: imaging negative, 76%; minimal or moderate peripheral disease, 57%; and central and/or macroscopic disease, 25%.

The 5-year absolute and cause-specific survival rates were as follows: imaging negative, 90% and 100%, respectively; minimal or moderate peripheral disease, 50% and 56%, respectively; and central and/or macroscopic disease, 58% and 61%, respectively.

Patients who had imaging-positive minimal or moderate peripheral disease had a better local control rate but a similar survival rate compared with patients who had central and/or macroscopic disease.

[Title] Measurements of the anatomical distribution of erythemal ultraviolet: a study comparing exposure distribution to the site incidence of solar keratoses, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

The UV exposures were compared with existing data detailing the anatomical distribution of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and solar keratoses (SK).

Surface UV exposures to unprotected skin surfaces have been presented for each of the face, neck, arm, hand and leg assessing a total of 1453 body sites (2491 measurements).

Further analysis with existing facial BCC and SK density data did not however show a direct relationship with the measured UV exposures highlighting the importance of other factors influencing the causation and localisation of facial NMSC.

[Title] Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes, arsenic exposure, and non-melanoma skin cancer in New Hampshire.

UV damage is specifically repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and common genetic variants in NER may increase risk for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

METHODS: Incident cases of basal and squamous cell carcinoma (BCC and SCC, respectively) were identified through a network of dermatologists and pathology laboratories across New Hampshire.

The analysis included 880 cases of BCC, 666 cases of SCC, and 780 controls.

RESULTS: There was an increased BCC risk associated with high arsenic exposure among those homozygous variant for XPA [odds ratio (OR) = 1.8; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.9-3.7].

For XPD, having variation at both loci (312Asn and 751Gln) occurred less frequently among BCC and SCC cases compared with controls (OR = 0.8; 95% CI, 0.6-1.0) for both case groups.
