Article Synopsis
- The development of keratinocyte and melanocytic tumors is influenced by multiple factors, including solar radiation and specific proteins, which can lead to their concurrent appearance in patients.
- An 85-year-old patient had three primary skin tumors removed in one surgery: two basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and one melanoma, showcasing a unique case of simultaneous tumors.
- The case is notable for its rarity, involving high-risk BCCs and the successful surgical removal of all tumors during a single procedure under local anesthesia.
Background: Modern drugs could sometimes be a good solution even to problematic patients. The cutaneous and systemic forms of the CD30 positive anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma could often be described as a suitable target for therapy with Brentuximab vedotin.
Case Report: We present the first case of a Bulgarian patient with a histologically confirmed primary cutaneous T-cell CD30+/ALK- large anaplastic cell lymphoma-cALCL (therapeutically resistant to therapy with Methotrexate, radiation therapy and systemic corticosteroid therapy) who was successfully treated with Brentuximab vedotin.
Background: Blue nevus is an interesting finding, which aetiology and risk of locoregional and distant metastasis have not yet been fully clarified. It may be inherited or acquired, with sporadic cases usually presented as solitary lesions. It is often localised in the area of the head and less often on the arms, legs or trunk.
