Trigeminal trophic syndrome simulating rodent ulcer basal cell carcinoma: a new clinico-dermoscopic approach*

The relation between dermoscopy and histopathology of basal cell carcinoma*

BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in fair-skinned populations and dermoscopy is an important, non-invasive technique that aids in the diagnosis of Basal cell carcinoma. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between histopathological subtypes and dermoscopic features of Basal cell carcinoma. METHODS This study included 98 patients with cl...

Dermoscopic features in the diagnosis of different types of basal cell carcinoma: a prospective analysis.

BACKGROUND There is limited data on dermoscopic features of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). We evaluated the presence of dermoscopic features in superficial (sBCCs), nodular (nBCCs), pigmented and non-pigmented BCCs in order to evaluate the role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of different subtypes of BCCs. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the presence of dermo...

Trigeminal trophic syndrome.

Ulceration of the nose may be inadvertently induced by the patient. Although trigeminal trophic syndrome is an uncommon cause of chronic ulcers, healthcare providers should consider the possibility of this disorder when encountering a patient with nasal ulcerations. Trigeminal trophic syndrome most commonly occurs in older women following therapy for trigeminal neuralgia. The ulcers usually inv...

Interobserver agreement on dermoscopic features of pigmented basal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND A dermoscopic method based on the absence of a pigment network and the presence of at least one of six positive features has been described for diagnosis of pigmented basal cell carcinoma (BCC). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the observers' global agreement and interobserver agreement on each dermoscopic parameter of the method recently proposed. METHODS Dermoscopic images of 56 pigmented...
