“…Specifically, the list of dermoscopic structures of BSC includes unfocused arborizing vessels, ulceration and blue-gray blotches, but also keratin masses, white structureless areas, superficial scale, blood crusts and blood spots in keratin masses. Interestingly, at least one BCC and one SCC-related criterion was found in nearly all BSC included in the later study [25].…”

“…Dermoscopy was shown to mirror perfectly the peculiar histopathologic nature of BSC, since features related to BCC and features related to SCC were simultaneously present [25]. Specifically, the list of dermoscopic structures of BSC includes unfocused arborizing vessels, ulceration and blue-gray blotches, but also keratin masses, white structureless areas, superficial scale, blood crusts and blood spots in keratin masses.…”

“…A recent study investigated the dermoscopic findings of basosquamous carcinoma (BSC), which is nowadays considered to represent a group of neoplasms showing both basaloid and squamoid differentiation [24,25]. Dermoscopy was shown to mirror perfectly the peculiar histopathologic nature of BSC, since features related to BCC and features related to SCC were simultaneously present [25].…”

The dermoscopic findings of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) were first described more than a decade ago and the list of BCC-related criteria has been several times updated and enriched. Today, the dermatoscope is considered the key tool for the diagnosis of BCC, since it allows its early detection and enables its discrimination from other pigmented and nonpigmented skin tumors. The dermoscopic pattern of BCC results from several combinations of well-known BCC criteria, depending on several factors, including histopathologic subtype, location, gender, age and pigmentary trait. In addition, recent evidence highlighted that dermoscopy is also useful in the management of BCC, since it provides information on the tumor subtype, the presence of pigmentation or ulceration and the response to nonablative treatments.

“…Dermoscopic patterns may facilitate early diagnosis and accurate management, which comprises BCC-related criteria, as well as features that are known to characterize invasive SCC [9]. The most frequently detected criteria were: Unfocused (peripheral) arborizing vessels keratin masses, white structureless areas, superficial scale, ulceration or blood crusts, white structures, blue-grey blotches and blood spots in keratin masses [9,10]. BSC appears to have overlapping dermoscopic features of BCC and invasive SCC, and detection of at least one dermoscopic criterion of both BCC and SCC should raise suspicion for the tumor [10].…”

“…It is in the spectrum between BCC and SCC. It has more aggressive clinical course and higher risk of local recurrence and metastasis compared to BCC There is only one previous study about dermoscopic features of BSC (4). In that study, the most frequently detected dermoscopic criteria in 22 lesions were: unfocused peripheral arborizing vessels (73%), keratin masses (73%), white structureless areas (73%), superficial scale (68%), ulceration or blood crusts (68%), white structures (64%), bluegrey blotches (ovoid nests) (59%) and blood spots in keratin masses (55%).…”

ÖZETBazoskuamoz karsinom, bazal hücreli karsinom-skuamoz hücreli karsinom spektrumunda yer alan nadir bir tümördür. Hem bazal hem de skuamoz hücreli karsinomun klinik, histopatolojik ve dermoskopik özelliklerini sergiler. Bazoskuamoz karsinomun dermoskopik özellikleri ile ilgili literatür bilgisi kısıtlıdır. Burada, yanağında bazoskuamoz lezyonları olan bir olgu dermoskopik özellikleri ile birlikte sunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bazoskuamoz karsinom; Dermoskopi; Metatipik bazal hücreli karsinom; Skuamoz hücreli karsinom. ABSTRACTBasosquamous carcinoma is a rare tumor in the spectrum between basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It exhibits clinical, pathological and dermoscopic features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Literature data about dermoscopic features of BSC is limited. Herein we report a case with basosquamous carcinoma lesions on the cheek with dermoscopic features.
