Actinic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma.

Actinic keratosis is a common skin disorder in elderly patients with fair complexions. It is caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. If left untreated, actinic keratosis may progress to squamous cell carcinoma. The metastatic potential and prognosis vary with the type and location of the lesion. Several approaches to treatment are available, including local destruction, excisional surgery, Mohs surgery, cryosurgery and radiotherapy.

Basal cell carcinoma.

Fair-skinned persons who have had significant exposure to the sun are at greatest risk for basal cell carcinoma. Clinically, basal cell carcinomas include numerous nodular and flat types. The lesions of basal cell carcinoma are usually asymptomatic until enlargement, bleeding or invasion of underlying tissue occurs. Metastasis is rare. A biopsy should be obtained before destructive treatment is carried out. Surgical excision, curettage and electrodesiccation or cryosurgery are acceptable procedures for removal of most lesions. Periodic follow-up is necessary to screen for new or recurrent skin cancer.

Lymphocytoma cutis: a series of five patients successfully treated with cryosurgery.

BACKGROUND: Lymphocytoma cutis is a rare cutaneous eruption that may possess clinical and histologic features resembling malignant lymphoma. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to find a good method to treat patients with lymphocytoma cutis. METHODS: Five patients with lymphocytoma cutis were seen; each agreed to cryosurgery. RESULTS: In each patient the lesions responded well to cryosurgery. CONCLUSION: Cryosurgery appears to be an excellent therapeutic option for patients with lymphocytoma cutis. To our knowledge this is the first time liquid nitrogen has been used to eradicate these lesions.
