“…Among the methods used to treat basal cell carcinoma are surgical excision, curettage, electrotherapy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, chemical therapy, local application of cytotoxic agents and intralesion injection. Treatments are chosen after considering functional aspects and cosmetic efficacy, together with complete removal of the lesion, based on patient clinical characteristics, including the extent of infiltration, histological lesion type, patient sex and age, reactions to previous treatment methods and remission rate 17). Both of our patients with basal cell carcinoma underwent surgical excision, with no recurrences for up to 2 years after surgery.…”

Background and ObjectivesAuricular masses are growths on the outer ear that have not been well characterized clinically. We assessed the clinical nature and treatment of auricular benign masses in patients at our institution.Subjects and MethodsWe retrospectively identified 63 patients with auricular benign masses who underwent excision and biopsy from May 1970 to April 2011. We determined the site, cause, size, pathology and postoperative results of these auricular masses.ResultsAuricular benign masses occurred most commonly on the lobule (44.4%), followed by the tragus (20.6%), crus of helix (11.1%), triangular fossa (6.3%), crus of antihelix-antitragus (3.1%) and scapha (1.5%). Pathologically, the most common type of auricular mass was epidermal cysts (25.3%), followed by hypertrophic scar (12.6%), fibrous tissue-accessory ear (9.5%), chronic inflammation-nevus (7.9%), keloid (6.3%), hemangioma (4.7%), and skin tag-seborrheic keratosis (3.1%).ConclusionsThe most common site of auricular benign masses is the lobule and most common pathology is an epidermal cyst.

“…Disadvantages include patient discomfort with therapy, delayed healing time, and occasionally hypopigmentation. 11 Cryosurgery should not be used on patients who have recurrent basal cell carcinoma or a history of cryoglobulinemia, cryofibrinogenemia, cold agglutinin syndrome, or Raynaud's phenomenon.…”

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of malignant tumor in the United States. The five types of basal cell carcinoma (noduloulcerative, pigmented, morpheaform, and superficial basal cell carcinoma, and premalignant fibroepithelioma) vary in clinical presentation and behavior. Diagnosis is made by skin biopsy. The size, type, and site of a lesion and the age and sex of the patient affect the choice of treatment. Electrodesiccation and curettage, cryosurgery, surgical excision, Mohs' surgery, and radiation therapy are available. Knowledge of these therapies and of when they should and should not be used is important in proper management of basal cell carcinoma.

“…For example, in immunosuppressed renal allograft recipients living in sunny climates skin cancer is among the most difficult long-term management problems [14]. Because skin cancers are easily accessible, a vast array of therapeutic options have evolved for their management, including a number of destructive procedures as well as primary resection or Mohs' micrographic surgery [15][16][17]. Though most skin tumors can be treated by each of these modalities in a variety of settings, the appropriate approach is to select the most adequate one for each case with regard to effectiveness of cure, side effects, feasibility and costs [18,19].…”
