19. Basal Cell Carcinoma
Signs and Symptoms
Malignancy of basal layer is commonly caused by repeated overexposure to the sun.
Basal cell carcinoma with pearly, flesh-colored papule with depressed center and rolled edge. 19

20. Basal Cell Carcinoma Signs and Symptoms
Locally invasive tumor, but rarely metastasizes.
Tumors grow slowly, but commonly ulcerate.
Predominant in fair- skinned men older than 60 years.

21. Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Skin cancer of the squamous cells – top layer
Potential for metastasis

22. Malignant Melanoma
Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive and life-threatening skin cancer. It develops in the cells that give the skin its color (melanocytes) and has a very high tendency to spread to other parts of the body. ___________________

24. Clinically Related Exercise
1. Mr. T is advised that the basal cell carcinoma on his face will not spread but will remain localized. Eventually it will destroy underlying and adjacent tissue. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another site is called .
2. A 70-year-old male is diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma due to overexposure to the sun. He is advised that the most common site of this skin cancer is the . 24

25. Abscess
Localized collection of pus at infection site (characteristically a staphylococcal infection).
A furuncle, or boil, is an abscess in a hair follicle and adjacent subcutaneous tissue. 25

Allergy skin test
Suspected allergen is applied to or injected into the skin to determine patient’s sensitivity to it.
Intradermal test identifies suspected allergens by subcutaneously injecting small amounts of extracts of the allergens and observing the skin for a reaction.

39. Medical and Surgical Procedures
Mohs surgery
Layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively excised and examined.
Repetition of this procedure until only cancer- free tissue remains. 39
