Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplantation. Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basocellular (BCC) and spinocellular (SCC) carcinoma, are common in renal transplant recipients. We report a case of an SCC affecting a lacrimal gland in a subject with kidney transplantation.

Since its first description in 1908, the sternocleidomastoid flap (SCM) has gained popularity in head-and-neck reconstruction as a regional flap. We reported a 69-year-old Caucasian male who was evaluated in our clinic for a large, bloody, esophitic, and ulcerated lesion of the right temporoparotideal region associated with several actinic keratoses of the head skin. After resection of the tumor, taking into consideration the patient's comorbidities and surgical defect characteristics, we decided to use the SCM flap for the reconstruction.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcicoma syndrome, comes into being due to a genetic alteration produced by a mutation in the "Patched" tumour suppressor gene, and it is inherited in a dominant autosomal way, though sporadic cases have been found. This syndrome shows a high penetrance and variable expressiveness. It is about a multisystemic process that is characterised by the presence of multiple pigmented basocellular carcinomas, keratocysts in the jaws, palmar and/or plantar pits and calcification of the falxcerebri.

Baso-cellular carcinomas involving the medial canthal regions of both eyes were resected using a 10 W cw-Nd: YAG laser scalpel. The wound bed was repaired one side by a free, split-thickness graft and on the other by a frontal pedicle flap. Surgery was, for the most part, virtually bloodless.

Results presented in the text would indicate that a high percentage of basal cell carcinomas have sweat gland histogenetic origins and that this is independent of its morphologic features. The use of immunohistochemical techniques in the detection of biological markers demonstrates once again their value not only in identifying a disease but also in determining its histogenetic origins.
