Carcinoma of the external auditory canal: removal and prevention of stenosis.

The external auditory canal represents an area of high risk for recurrence of tumors. Therefore, carcinomas involving this region should be removed by Mohs chemosurgery. Healing by granulation can result in stenosis of the canal. We report a method of reconstruction to prevent stenosis of the auditory canal after chemosurgery.

Mutilating sclerosing basal cell epithelioma.

A 59-year-old black woman presented with an ill-defined plaque on her nose. This appeared clinically suggestive of a sclerosing type of basal cell epithelioma (BCE). Microscopic sections demonstrated this diagnosis. Multiple excisions employing the microscopically controlled technique of Mohs traced the tumor deep into the nasal cartilage before histologic sections were free of tumor cells. This type of BCE deserves well planned therapy because of its destructive potential.

Massive basal cell carcinoma of the scalp: successful management by cooperation of chemosurgeon and reconstructive surgeon.

No single modality is appropriate for treatment of the huge invasive basal cell carcinoma. Mohs' chemosurgery is perhaps the most efficacious ablative method, but it must be supplemented by a reconstructive procedure in nearly all sizable lesions. A case history is presented of a patient with massive basal cell carcinoma involving the entire posterior scalp and deep tissues in which chemosurgical ablation and major staged reconstruction proceeded concurrently to a successful conclusion. The advantages of this approach are discussed.
