On the basis of a retrospective study of 354 basal-cell epitheliomas of the eyelids, we present a study of the most frequently used treatments: surgery, conventional radiation therapy and curietherapy. The results of treatment, both functional and oncological, are generally satisfactory, whatever the method chosen, but with a set of arguments in favor of surgery. The major therapeutic indications are discussed, without formally ruling out any treatment.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunomodulatory molecule that may play an immunosuppressive role in nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We analyzed the role of IL10 promoter variants in genetic determinants of BCC susceptibility and their association with IL10 mRNA and IL-10 serum levels. Three promoter variants (- 1082 A > G, - 819 T > C, and - 592 A > C) were examined in 250 BCC patients and 250 reference group (RG) individuals.

Targeted drug delivery has emerged as a transformative approach in the treatment of periorbital skin malignancies, offering the potential for enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects compared to traditional therapies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of targeted therapies in the context of periorbital malignancies, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma. It explores the mechanisms of action for various targeted therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, small molecule inhibitors, and immunotherapies, and their applications in treating these malignancies.

Basocellular carcinomas are characterized by their non-deep spread neoplastic nature. Although treatment typically proceeds without complication, excision in critical facial regions can lead to aesthetically undesirable defects. Furthermore, elderly patients often express aesthetic concerns, particularly regarding the thinning of the upper lip over time.

Keratocyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst arising from remnants/rests of the dental lamina with biologic behavior similar to benign neoplasm. The presence of multiple odontogenic keratocysts is rare and seen in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS). GGS syndrome presents with multisystem involvement and the classical triad of multiple basocellular epitheliomas, keratocysts in the jaws, and bifid ribs; that characterize the diagnosis of this syndrome.

Background: Rhinophyma is a benign condition caused by the excessive growth of sebaceous glands in the nasal tissue, presenting with symptoms such as nasal hypertrophy, erythema, and papules. Cases of basal cell carcinoma in rhinophyma have been reported in literature, but its etiological role remains unclear. It is uncertain whether rhinophyma is predisposed to neoplasm development or if their coexistence is coincidental.
