Clear cell basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a variant of BCC with a characteristic clear cell component that may occupy all or part of the tumor islands. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining for glycogen is variably positive, and mild deposition of sulfated mucin has been noted. However, to our knowledge, clear cell BCC with sialomucin deposition has not been reported. Here we report a case of clea...

Retinoids have been used for years as monotherapy and/or in combination for treatment and suppression of cutaneous malignancies in patients with basal cell nevus syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We report 4 cases with BCC confirmed by histopathology who were treated by short-term systemic acitretin combined with retinoic acid 0.1% ...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a skin cancer, is the most common malignancy in white people [1, 2]. Although mortality is low as BCC rarely metastasizes, people suffering from BCC are at high risk of developing other malignancies [3]. Given its low metastatic potential, treatment of BCC focuses on local control, including surgical and non-surgical measures [3, 4]. In the best hands, the 5-year cur...

INTRODUCTION Basocellular skin carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in the human population. BCC almost appeared at adult's people, but it can be found at children, too. THE AIM The aim of this study was to determine which the position of BCC on the head skin is the most difficult for the treatment and what the reasons are for it. METHODS With the prospective study, from June 2004 to J...

Behaviour change communication (BCC) can improve infant and young child nutrition (IYCN) knowledge, practices, and health outcomes. However, few studies have examined whether the improved knowledge persists after BCC activities end. This paper assesses the effect of nutrition sensitive social protection interventions on IYCN knowledge in rural Bangladesh, both during and after intervention acti...

Dysregulated hedgehog (HH) signaling has been found in numerous cancers, suggesting that therapeutic targeting of this pathway may be useful versus a wide range of cancers. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an excellent model system for studying the influence of the HH pathway on carcinogenesis because aberrant activation of HH signaling is crucial not only for the development of but also the maint...

OBJECTIVES To estimate and compare the recurrence rates of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) after Mohs surgery in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and controls and to evaluate differences among histologic subtypes of BCC. DESIGN Retrospective assessment of clinical histories, postoperative notes, and surgical photographs. SETTING Tertiary-care institution (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, ...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant tumor of epithelial cells that is composed of cells similar to those in the basal area of the epidermis and its appendages. Ninety- five percent of individuals with BCC are between 40 and 79 years old. It rarely occurs in younger individuals. Herein, a 20- year- old woman with type III skin, who had a BCC on her chin is presented. Since the clinic...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer among skin cancers. Cell cycle deregulation in G1-phase is a critical event during the course of carcinogenesis, which is probably much more important than other phases of cell cycle, during the course of skin carcinogenesis. CCND1 and CDK6 are important components of Retinoblastoma regulatory pathway in arrest and uncontrolled proliferation ...
