Cornu cutaneum are horn-like skin protrusions comprised of dense keratin. They differ from animal horns in a sense that cornu cutaneum do not have a central bone. The lesions may develop in any part of the body, with 30% of the lesions occurring in the head and neck region. Although they are considered benign lesions, they are characteristically associated with pre-malignant or malignant lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, keratoacanthoma, basal cell carcinoma and Kaposi sarcoma. The aim of this clinical case report is to review a case of cornu cutaneum of the face associated with a papillary squamous cell carcinoma in a 72-year-old female We reviewed a case of cornu cutaneum of the left pre auricular area of the face with a 5-year history. The lesion was asymptomatic, measured 6cm in length and was resected under general anaesthetic with wide margins. The histopathological examination showed papillary a squamous cell carcinoma at the base of the lesion. As the lesions are benign and the nearest margin was 9mm, no further adjunct therapy was instituted. Although considered a benign lesion, cornu cutaneum is invariably associated with malignant lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma. Similarly, our case was associated with a papillary squamous cell carcinoma at the base of the lesion. As per current standards, the lesion was resected with wide margins

İkinci Basamak Sağlık Kuruluşu Non-melanom Deri Kanseri Verileri: Milas YöresiAmaç: Bu çalışmada Milas yöresinde görülen non-melanoma deri kanseri (NMDK) hastalarından devlet hastanesine başvuranların demografik özellikleri, tümör lokalizasyonu ve histopatolojisi ile tümörlerin rekürrens sıklığı çalışıldı.Yöntemler: Çalışmada 2011-2014 yılları arasında; dermatoloji kliniğinde görülen 120 NMDK tanılı hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, alkol ve sigara kullanımı, mesleği, Fitzpatrick deri tipi (FT), lezyonların lokalizasyonu, tümör histopatolojisi ile rekürrens sıklığı değerlendirilerek istatistiksel analiz yapıldı. Bulgular:Hastaların başvuru sırasındaki yaş ortalaması 65,2 olarak bulundu. Erkek ve kadın oranı eşitti ve bazal hücreli karsinom (BHK) hastalarında kadın sayısı, skuamöz hücreli kanser hastalarında erkek sayısı fazla idi. Lezyonların %88,3'ü baş-boyun bölgesinde görüldü. En yaygın lokalizasyon burun olup (%19,7) bunu göz ve kulak çevresi izledi. Hastaların %70,8'i FT 1 ve 2, %70 hasta açık renk göze sahipti. Beş hastada birden fazla lezyon vardı ve hastaların 12 tanesinde rekürrens görüldü. En sık karşılaşılan histopatolojik tip nodüler olup bunu infiltratif ve yüzeyel yayılan BHK izledi. Hastalarımızın neredeyse hepsi tarım ile aktif uğraşan bireylerdi.Sonuç:Üç yıllık takipte ilçenin ikinci basamak sağlık kuruluşunda tespit edilen olguların sıklığının ve rekürrensin yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Deri kanserleri sıklığının ve tedavisinin bu bölge için önemli bir sağlık problemi olduğunu ve koruyucu önlemler alınmazsa bunun artacağını düşünmekteyiz.AnahtarSözcükler: Non-melanom deri kanserleri, Milas, bazal hücreli karsinom, skuamoz hücreli karsinom Aim: We investigated demographic features, tumor location and histopathology as well as frequency of recurrence of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in patients in Milas region.Methods:Medical files of 120 patients with the diagnosis of NMSC, who attended the dermatology department at Milas State Hospital between 2011 and 2014, were analyzed retrospectively.

Results:The average age at admission was 65.2 years. Male/female ratio was equal and the number of females with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was higher than that of males, while squamous cell cancer was more common in men. 88.3% of the lesions involved the head and neck region.

CT és PET-CT vizsgálatot követően lineáris excisiót és tumor exstirpatiótvégeztünk. A szövettani vizsgálat malignitást igazolt. Azóta a beteget az onko-team döntése alapján szoros kontroll alatttartjuk, jelenleg is tünet- és panaszmentes.
