Basal cell carcinoma showing connections with epidermal cysts

Abstract: Basal cell carcinomas arising from epidermal cysts are rare. A 76-year-old Japanese man had had a blackish nodule on his right knee for 15 years, under which he later noticed the development of a subcutaneous nodule. On histological examination masses of tumour cells showed the feature of adenoid and solid patterns of basal cell carcinoma that were connected to the wall of epidermal cysts in many places as well as with the overlying epidermis.

“…In our patient there were no different sores exhibit somewhere else amid the examination. Various sorts of threat that can emerge from a huge sebaceous growth are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, mycosis fungicides and melanoma in long standing cases in elderly [8][9][10]. Differential diagnosis if this type swelling is osteomyelitis with complication, potts pufy tumor, mycosis fungoid.…”

“…7,8 Squamous cell carcinoma, Basal cell carcinoma, Mycosis fungoides and melanoma are the various types of malignancies reported in literature. 9,10 Diagnosis is generally achieved by FNAC.MRI is an useful adjunct to establish the diagnosis in atypical locations. Simple excision is the treatment of choice in uncomplicated cases; however in patients with large epidermal cysts and underlying medical disorders, regional perforator island flaps reconstruction has been performed.…”
