Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Muscles for Facial Expressions

Muscles for Facial Expressions

The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Basosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm.
It exhibits features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Previously considered a variant, it's now recognized as a distinct clinical entity.

Observation:

A case report of a 59-year-old homeless male patient is presented.
The patient had an ulcerated tumoral lesion on the left malar region, orbit, and nasal pyramid for four years.
The lesion caused significant destruction of these structures and spread to the skull base via the optic nerve.

Findings:

Basosquamous carcinoma is characterized by significant local aggressiveness.
This neoplasm demonstrates a high frequency of recurrence.
It possesses a notable metastatic potential.

Implications:

Early detection and complete surgical removal are the most effective therapeutic strategies.
The aggressive nature of basosquamous carcinoma can make complete tumor removal challenging, as illustrated by the case.
Understanding its aggressive behavior is vital for patient management and treatment planning.
