Presented here are three cutaneous sebaceous tumors (one carcinoma and two sebaceomas), each demonstrating a focal glandular pattern representing apocrine differentiation. The patients, two males and one female, each clinically presented with a small solitary nodule or tumor on the scalp. None of the patients had features of Muir-Torre syndrome. Surgical removal of the lesions was performed in ...

Reconstruction of subtotal maxillectomy defects with columella deficit is challenging. We report a unique case facial reconstruction using free radial forearm flap and preauricular for the deficit. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed recurrent sebaceous carcinoma nose. performed wide excision, including areas right cheek, nose, upper lip, maxilla, columella. The resultant defect reconstructed thr...

OBJECTIVE To examine incidence patterns of patients diagnosed as having cutaneous appendageal carcinoma (CAC). DESIGN Population-based study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute data from 1978 through 2005. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1801 subjects from SEER 16 registries (2001-2005) for incidence analyses, 2228 from SEER 9 regist...

The case of a clear cell carcinoma of a minor salivary gland, at the basis of the tongue, is described, which represents 1% of malignant tumours of salivary glands. The biological behaviour is not very aggressive and development, which is very slow, is usually asymptomatic, and, indeed, the tumour often reaches considerable dimensions before being diagnosed. There are rare cases of local recurr...

Initial investigations reported GATA3 to be a sensitive and relatively specific marker for mammary and urothelial carcinomas. Recently, GATA3 expression has been described in several other epithelial tumors. However, there has been only limited investigation of GATA3 expression in cutaneous epithelial tumors. The objective of this study was to examine the immunohistochemical expression of GATA3...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relative frequencies, average annual incidences, and patient characteristics of non-basal cell and non-squamous cell malignant neoplasms of the eyelid in a defined geographic population. DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective study using the Florida Cancer Data System to identify malignant tumors of the eyelid, except for basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, from 19...
