“…However, its biologic course and some clinical and epidemiologic data are rather similar to SCC. Heretofore, BSC is considered to represent a complex of tumors characterized by both basaloid and squamoid differentiation, in an apparent continuum between BCC and SCC [54–56]. The dermatoscopic characteristics of BSC have been recently reported to mirror its peculiar histopathology, since the tumor shares dermatoscopic criteria of both BCC and SCC [57].…”

Following the first descriptions of the dermatoscopic pattern of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that go back to the very early years of dermatoscopy, the list of dermatoscopic criteria associated with BCC has been several times updated and renewed. Up to date, dermatoscopy has been shown to enhance BCC detection, by facilitating its discrimination from other skin tumors and inflammatory skin diseases. Furthermore, upcoming evidence suggests that the method is also useful for the management of the tumor, since it provides valuable information about the histopathologic subtype, the presence of clinically undetectable pigmentation, the expansion of the tumor beyond clinically visible margins and the response to non-ablative treatments. In the current article, we provide a summary of the traditional and latest knowledge on the value of dermatoscopy for the diagnosis and management of BCC.

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.

“…41 Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus, a variant of BCC that has thin strands of basaloid cells attached to the epidermis, occurs predominantly on the lumbosacral skin, but may also present in the perineum. 42 Clinical Features and Diagnosis BCC of the perineum can take on a variety of clinical presentations, as lesions may be skin-colored or erythematous papules, patches, nodules, plaques, or ulcers. Some series have noted slightly larger average sizes at presentation, likely due to a delay in diagnosis because of the location.…”

This review discusses multiple cutaneous malignancies that can present on the perineum. Although all of these neoplasms are uncommon, a focus will be on the more common neoplasms including extramammary Paget disease, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Other more rare entities discussed are superficial leiomyosarcoma, giant solitary trichoepithelioma, and cutaneous endometriosis.
