High Aggressive Herpetiform Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

We describe a highly aggressive squamous cell carcinoma that presents in a dermatome pattern shortly following shingles and review the literature on herpetiform lesions.

Advanced Perineural Invasion of a Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Involving the Supraorbital, Supratrochlear and Optic Nerves

“…This case compounds this preliminary research. It may be beneficial to take an early biopsy of suspicious lesions to enable a histopathological diagnosis and aid further research [8].…”

Il est rare et survient probablement par propagation lymphangitique rétrograde des cellules tumorales; le pronostic est extrêmement sombre [3][4][5][6] . Le diagnostic repose sur un fort degré de suspicion chez les patients qui ont des antécédents de cancer de la peau ou d'autres cancers et qui manifestent un érythème de type zostérien réfractaire aux antiviraux 4,5 .…”

Metastatic zosteriform cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

“…It is uncommon, and likely occurs through retrograde lymphangitic spread of tumour cells; it carries a dismal prognosis. [3][4][5][6] The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion in patients with a history of skin cancer, or other cancers, who present with a zoster-like rash refractory to antiviral therapy. 4,5…”
