Summary

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are common skin cancers. Perineural spread in BCCs was rare (0.178%) and primarily observed in recurrent tumors in specific facial areas.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • Understanding the behavior and potential complications of these tumors is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
  • To investigate the occurrence and patterns of perineural spread in basal cell carcinomas.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 4376 cases of basal and squamous cell carcinomas over 100 months.
  • Detailed examination of tumor characteristics, including perineural spread, recurrence, and anatomical location.

Main Results:

  • Basal cell carcinomas constituted 76.6% of the total cases.
  • Perineural spread was identified in 0.178% of basal cell lesions.
  • All instances of perineural spread were associated with recurrent tumors, predominantly located in the preauricular and malar regions.

Conclusions:

  • While rare, perineural spread is a significant finding in recurrent basal cell carcinomas.
  • The preauricular and malar areas are common sites for BCCs with perineural involvement.
  • Close monitoring and prompt treatment of recurrent BCCs are essential to prevent complications like perineural spread.
