Keloids are benign cutaneous lesions that result from excessive collagen synthesis and deposition. Earlobe keloids are commonly seen as a complication of earlobe piercing and infection. Many different treatment modalities are available; however, therapeutic results are often unsatisfactory. Cryosurgery either used as monotherapy or in combination has been used successfully. However, keloids may require multiple sessions to achieve significant improvement and have a high rate of recurrence. Compared to conventional cryosurgery, intralesional cryosurgery has advantages of proper freezing of the deep layer of the lesion and a less harmful effect on the superficial layers. Herein, we present three cases of earlobe keloid effectively treated with intralesional cryosurgery.

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare malignant tumor believed to originate from the eccrine gland. It is important to exclude other possible origins of the mucinous carcinoma, such as the breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, prostate, and ovary, because PCMC generally shows a better prognosis. Some histopathological clues are helpful to distinguish PCMC from metastatic mucinous carcinoma, but the final diagnosis should be made after a thorough systemic evaluation. We report a case of PCMC after a comprehensive evaluation to exclude metastatic mucinous carcinoma.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign epithelial tumor which occurs primarily on sun-exposed area, and is occasionally associated with several malignant or premalignant conditions. Among these malignant or premalignant conditions, Bowen disease and basal cell carcinoma are common, but still it is not clear whether these malignancies arise incidentally with seborrheic keratosis or malignant transformation has occurred. We herein report a case of Bowen disease with seborrheic keratosis on the inguinal area where prior seborrheic keratosis had recurred after incomplete removal.
