ABSTRACT

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common of all skin cancers, and ultraviolet radiation is the major etiologic agent in the pathogenesis of BCC. BCC occurring on areas that are not exposed to the sun seems to have different pathogenesis that is not fully understood. Many histologic variants of BCC exist, reflecting its pluripotential origin from epithelial germ cells. Herein we report a case of BCC on the right axilla, which is an unusual place for its occurrence.

ABSTRACT

Becker's nevus is a relatively common acquired focal epidermal melanotic hypermelanosis usually found in the region of the shoulder girdle of young men. Various skeletal malformations and cutaneous dermatoses have been reported in Becker's nevus. Osteoma cutis is a rare disorder characterized by compact bone formation in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. Secondary ossification on nevi has been reported, but not with Becker's nevus. Herein, we report a case of Becker's nevus with accompanying osteoma cutis in an 18-year-old female.

ABSTRACT

Tinea faciei is a dermatophyte infection of the glabrous part of facial skin most commonly caused by the Trichophyton species. Tinea faciale has been classified as part of tinea corporis but recently for its unique features, it is being considered a separate disease entity. Tinea faciale is a relatively rare dermatophytosis and is characterized by clinical polymorphism, which leads to frequent misdiagnosis and mistreatment with corticosteroids. Long term treatment with glucocorticoids can subsequently lead to tinea incognito. Herein we describe an unusual case of tinea faciei caused by T. mentagrophytes in a 40-year-old women with erythematous facial eruptions, initially misdiagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis and rosacea. By using mycological and histological examinations, dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes was confirmed. Oral terbinafine was administered together with topical clotrimazole and hydrocortisone for 4 weeks.
