Jadassohn nevus is a congenital hamartoma that is characterized by natural evolution in three stages, with a risk of malignancies occurring in the last phase. This benign adnexal tumor often affects the face and scalp. Dermoscopy can provide a major help for detecting transforming tumors. We report the case of a senile sebaceous Nevus which has been diagnosed after the occurrence of Basal cell carcinoma in a 60 years old man. The originality of this observation remains in the rarity of the pseudo glandular basal cell carcinoma that, in the best of our knowledge, has never been reported in underlying nevus sebaceous.
The ganglionic melanoma without cutaneous primitive is a rare entity, and that constitutes a challenge for the dermatologist, which pushes him to repeat his dermatological examination several times while searching for the primitive. Case report: We describe the case of a patient aged 73 years, with asymptomatic left inguinal swelling. Dermatologic examination found vitiligo-like leukoderma with a 2% body surface, and 2 cm left inguinal lymphadenopathy, with no inflammatory signs. Histology and immunohistochemistry favored ganglionic melanoma. The complete assessment did not reveal other metastases. the patient benefited from extensive excision with radiotherapy and then chemotherapy without recurrence. Conclusion: ganglionic melanoma without mucocutaneous primitive suggests a high probability of cutaneous regression of a metastatic melanoma, especially if the patient presents a vitiliginous reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
