Seborrheic keratosis is the most common slow‐growing, benign epithelial tumour, usually appearing on sun‐exposed areas. Treatment modalities for seborrheic keratosis may be uncomfortable and/or time‐consuming. We present a case series of 12 patients with solitary seborrheic keratosis localized on the face treated with 0.005% calcipotriol ointment. The treatment lasted 3–8 months and resulted in complete regression of the lesions. Remission (follow‐up period) lasted from 6 to 10 years. We conclude that topical calcipotriol may be a useful treatment option for seborrheic keratosis.
Introduction. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin
cancer in Caucasians and one of the most frequent malignancies in general,
especially in older adults. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent
tumor developing on chronic leg ulceration, while BCC rarely occurs and is
often misdiagnosed. In addition, since older adults commonly have coexisting
chronic vein insufficiency, the ulcerated BCC is frequently mistaken as
being of venous origin. Outlines of cases. We present five cases of BCC
presenting as chronic venous ulcers. Conclusion. Long-lasting ulcers with
no healing tendency must be considered malignant until proven otherwise.
Knowing the characteristics of malignant ulceration may help in early
detection and treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
