Abstract:
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States.1,2 There are different treatment modalities for non-melanoma skin cancer, that include surgical excision, radiation therapy, cryotherapy, electrodessication and curettage, photodynamic therapy, and topical chemotherapy. Intralesional injection with 5-fluorouracil is a treatment modality that is not used often, perhaps due to not much research available to its effectiveness or established treatment recommendations. We report a case of a patient with multiple lesions of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma on the lower extremities treated successfully with intralesional 5- fluorouracil.

Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
