Basal cell carcinomas of covered and unusual sites of the body.

BACKGROUND: The concept of unusual site for a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has to be defined because there is much confusion about it. Basal cell carcinomas of covered areas of the body are sometimes considered as unusual because of their location. In this study an attempt is made to define what is an unusual site for a BCC according to experience and the problems encountered are briefly discussed. METHODS: A total of 1050 histologically-confirmed primary BCCs were studied. Age, sex and site of presentation were considered. RESULTS: Eighteen cases were recorded, localized on hand, axilla, areola or nipple, buttock perineal, and genital regions. CONCLUSIONS: Unusual location has been arbitrarily defined in the past according to the incidental percentage, to a mathematical index of density, to the literature reports. All these criteria suffer more or less from some discrepancy, but in our opinion all these should be considered for a definition. Our results, moreover, suggest that only the above described sites should be considered.

Successful cryotherapic treatment and overview of multiple clear cell acanthomas.

BACKGROUND: Clear cell acanthoma (CCA) is a usually solitary benign epidermal-tumor. Multiple lesions are infrequently reported. OBJECTIVE: A case of multiple eruptive CCA is reported in which a successful cryotherapic treatment was performed. METHODS: A 59-year-old man with varicose veins and dry skin presented with 17 eruptive asymptomatic papulo-nodular lesions on both legs. RESULTS: Two lesions were excised with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of CCA. Other lesions were treated with liquid nitrogen. All the lesions resolved with minimal residual scarring after three to four treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple CCA is a rare condition; fewer than 20 cases having been described. The presence of associated conditions like dry skin and varicose veins are discussed. Because of the tendency of persistence of the lesions, cryotherapic treatment may be a useful method of therapy.

Statistical study of the angle formed by the lateral part of the mandibular condyle and the horizontal plane.

The angle between the LCA and frontal plane and the inclination of the lateral part of the mandibular condyle and the horizontal plane were measured in a sample of the skulls used in the study. Correlation between the two angles was found to be almost insignificant. Fifty-eight percent of the TMJs had an inclination of the lateral part of the condyle less than 15 degrees. The maximum value for this angle was found to be 45 degrees, and the minimum was -6 degrees.

A clinical study of graphic registration of the condylar path inclination.

The angular values of the CSP registered from 390 patients and obtained by tracing a tangent to the graph with the GR were analyzed. The data subjected to statistical analysis gave a median angular value of the CSP equal to 33 degrees and showed a great median value dispersion. A low error index was obtained in tracing the tangent to the CSP tracing with the GR method. The angular values of the CSP were repeatable over time since the variations found were less than 5 degrees. Variations of the CSP greater than 5 degrees were noted after repeated registrations in patients with TMJ disturbances as well as in patients treated with complete dentures. These data show the necessity for an individual measurement of the CSP value, especially in patients who need extensive readjustments of the prosthesis.
