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...

Summary

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), a rare cancer, was identified in the conjunctiva and paranasal sinus. This study highlights BSCC

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is an aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
  • BSCC typically affects the upper aerodigestive tract.
  • Distinguishing BSCC from other head and neck cancers is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report two rare cases of BSCC.
  • To describe BSCC arising in the conjunctiva and paranasal sinus.
  • To review the literature and diagnostic considerations for BSCC.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of two patients with BSCC.
  • Clinical and pathological findings documented.
  • Immunohistochemistry performed for diagnostic clarification.

Main Results:

  • First reported case of conjunctival BSCC.
  • BSCC identified in a paranasal sinus.
  • Detailed histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis provided.

Conclusions:

  • BSCC can occur in unusual locations like the conjunctiva.
  • Accurate differentiation of BSCC from other neoplasms is essential.
  • Further research into BSCC of the head and neck is warranted.
