  • In total, 52 BCCs were present on the head and neck (25 excised by GPs, 25 by hospital plastic surgeons, and 2 by private plastic surgeons) and 81 were present on other sites (75 excised by GPs, 5 by hospital plastic surgeons, and 1 by a private plastic surgeon). (iproc.org)
  • One of the life-threatening surgical risks and complications when removing BCC in the facial area is infection with the possibility to spread across the deep neck spaces as well as systemic inflammation (sepsis). (cancerdiagnosisprognosis.org)
  • The origin of the oral cases is still uncertain, but the carcinoma is thought to arise from pluripotential cells in the basal layer or from heterotropic sebaceous glands [2]. (who.int)
  • Basal-cell carcinomas are thought to develop from the folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine germinative cells known as trichoblasts. (wikipedia.org)

  • It has been suggested that sebaceous adenoma is a superficial or low-grade variant of sebaceous carcinoma [ 12 - 14 ]. (scholars.direct)
  • A. Bernard Ackerman, respected dermatologist and dermatopathologist, first proposed the idea that sebaceous adenomas were in fact sebaceous carcinomas due to the variable presence of mitotic figures, pleomorphism, and crowded nuclei in these lesions [ 14 ]. (scholars.direct)

  • Although basal cell carcinoma rarely spreads or becomes life threatening, it is usually removed because it can invade local tissues and cause damage by damaging nearby nerves and blood vessels. (ohniww.org)
  • Basal cell carcinoma is rarely staged as these are almost always cured before they spread to other parts of the body, however in the cases where it needs to be staged, TNM method of staging is used. (onco.com)
