Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma type of skin cancer described in humans that originates in the epidermis, more specifically in the basal layer and its appendages. Environmental, genetic and phenotypic factors contribute to the onset of this cancer; however, damage caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunlight is the primary risk factor. The emergence of this neoplasm in unexposed body areas, such as the soles, groin, armpit, scrotum or vulva is very rare.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 59-year-old woman showed a painful, slow-growing vulvar lesion diagnosed as BSC, confirmed by biopsy and treated with partial radical vulvectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, both showing no evidence of metastasis.
  • * This case highlights the importance of recognizing squamous differentiation in BSC for ensuring complete surgical excision, as it has a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis compared to basal cell carcinoma,

Article Synopsis
  • * A 73-year-old woman exhibited a non-painful, slowly growing vulvar mass, which upon surgical excision, revealed a nodular mass with mucinous characteristics and a specific tumor profile.
  • * The findings suggest that this type of vulvar carcinoma shares similarities with breast encapsulated papillary carcinoma, leading to a tailored treatment approach focusing on its localized and slow-progressing nature, differing from other more aggressive vulvar adenocarcinomas.

Nodular fasciitis (NF) and proliferative fasciitis (PF) are benign, reactive mesenchymal neoplasms that can mimic malignancies due to their rapid growth and histological characteristics. NF typically affects the subcutaneous tissue, occasionally involving muscles and fascia, predominantly in young adults, and appears frequently in the upper extremities, trunk, and head/neck. PF, a pseudosarcomatous lesion, primarily occurs in the subcutaneous tissue of adults aged 40-70 years and is uncommon in younger populations.
