This article deals with dermatologic neoplasms. It includes dermatologic cancer, which can be deadly. Collectively, dermatologic cancers are the most common form of cancer.

An introduction to dermatopathy is found in the dermatopathology article. Non-malignant disease is covered in the non-malignant skin disease article.

The Big Three malignant

Basal cell carcinoma

  • Abbreviated BCC.

General

  • Very common.
  • Sun exposed skin.
  • Hair bearing area; tumour derived from hair follicle - a more appropriate name might be trichoblastic carcinoma.[1]
  • Very rarely metastasizes:
    • Dermatopathologists might see a couple in their career.
    • There are only ~ 300 literature reports of metastatic BCC.[2]

Clinical

  • Telangiectasias.
  • Raised pearly nodule.

As part of a syndrome

Microscopic

Features:[4][5]

  1. Basaloid cells - similar in appearance to basal cells:
    • Moderate blue/grey cytoplasm.
    • Dark ovoid/ellipsoid nucleus with uniform chromatin.
  2. Palisading of cells at the edge of the cell nests.
  3. Artefactual separation of cells (forming the nests) from the underlying stroma - key feature.
  4. Surrounded by blue (myxoid) stroma - key feature.

May be present:[5]

  • Dystrophic calcification.
  • Amyloid.
  • Inflammation.

Notes:

  • Palisading = the long axes of the cells are alined and the axes are perpendicular to the interface between the (basaloid cell) nests and stroma.
  • Key elements in a list: Artefactual clefting (of nests), Basaloid cells, Peripheral palisading, Myxoid stroma.
    • Memory device PAM: palisading, artefactual clefts, myxoid stroma.

Basal cell carcinoma subtypes/unique features

  • Many patterns exist.
  • Recurrence higher in morpheaform (sclerosing), infiltrative, micronodular, and superficial patterns.[8]
  • DG says the prognosis is similar for all BCC subtypes, except for sclerosing pattern and infiltrative pattern.[9]

The subtypes:[10]

Pattern Key histologic feature Other histologic features Other
Superficial pattern connected to epidermis
Nodular pattern nodules partial detachment from epidermis subgroup micronodular = nests equal size ~ 0.2 mm dia., >=25% of lesion
Morpheaform (sclerosing) pattern stroma sclerosis often seen with infiltrative pattern
Infiltrative pattern small irregular cell aggregates often also sclerosing or morpheaform
Fibroepitheliomatous pattern cords and columns of basaloid cells fibrous stroma name of pattern comes from fibroepithelioma of Pinkus
Infundibulocystic pattern small keratocysts (keratin cysts) usu. small, often in cords usu. indolent
Adenoidal pattern cribriform / pseudoglandular arch. myxoid stroma, peripheral palisading DDx: adenoid cystic carcinoma

Unique features/differentiation:[10]

Differentiation / unique cell Key histologic feature Other histologic features Other
Pigmented cells any pattern can have pigmentation pigment may be in malignant cell DDx: collision lesion with melanocytic lesion
Squamous differentiation (metatypical BCC) pink cytoplasm, keratinization assoc. with ulceration/tumour recurrence
Eccrine differentiation focal duct formation very rare, DDx: BCC engulfing sweat ducts
Clear cells (Clear cell BCC) clear cytoplasm due to glycogen

IHC

Risk factors:[12]

  • Sun exposure.
  • Immune suppression (e.g. organ transplant recipients).

Notes:

  • Keratoacanthoma.
    • Some don't believe this entity exists.
      • These people sign this entity as low grade squamous cell carcinoma, keratoacanthoma type.[13]

Microscopic

High risk features - for SCC of the skin:[14]

  • Primary site is ear or hair-bearing lip.
  • Clark level IV/V = reticular dermis or deeper.
  • >=2 mm thickness -- measured from stratum granuloma or ulcer base to deepest aspect.
  • Lymphovascular invasion.
  • Perineural invasion.
  • Poorly differentiated.
