“…5 Leibovitch and colleagues considered 11,127 patients treated with MMS for BCC in Australia over 10 years; more than 30% of cases were referred because of tumor histology or a poorly defined lesion, and 33.1% of cases were recurrent BCCs, and this study considered MMS the treatment of choice for recurrent BCCs. 50 Complete excision of BCC should always be the aim of surgery, but in no circumstance is it more important to gain immediate margin control (MMS or immediate frozen section) than before flap repair. After treatment and 32-month follow-up, tumor recurrence was 0.4%.…”

“…After treatment and 32-month follow-up, tumor recurrence was 0.4%. 50 Complete excision of BCC should always be the aim of surgery, but in no circumstance is it more important to gain immediate margin control (MMS or immediate frozen section) than before flap repair. Re-excision of flap repairs is always difficult because of distortion of tissue planes and loss of tissue reservoirs used for the initial flap and often results in a large defect with limited repair options.…”

Immediate re-excision using MMS is recommended for treatment of incompletely excised BCC because the majority of cases have histologically detectable BCC. Watch and wait advice could lead to significant morbidity because recurrence may necessitate more extensive closures and costs. Long-term follow-up is recommended. It is important to conduct self-audits of incomplete excisions and follow up these patients.

“…Ahmad et al avaient retrouvé une localisation des CBC départagée de façon identique entre des zones plus exposées (face, front et nez) et des zones moins exposées (auricules et cuir chevelu) [4]. Malgré le stade évolutif [8]. Cette technique était non applicable chez nos patients.…”

Introduction. Basal cell carcinomas are one of the most prevalent cancer type among white-skinned populations worldwide. They are noted frequently at sun-exposed sites, like head areas. Intense exposition with solar ultraviolet radiations is condemned in their etiopathogeny. Metastases are exceptional. The aims of this study were to establish the existence of facial basal cell carcinomas in Madagascar and to evaluate their management. Patients and methods. This is a retrospective study of facial basal cell carcinomas seen at the Ear, Nose and Throat Department at the Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona Hospital in Antananarivo. Results. Our patients were aged 46 à 70 years (mean age= 52). There were three male and two female patients. Four patients underwent a wide surgical excision, and one albinos patient received radiotherapy. All patients came from the Highlands of Madagascar. The carcinomas were localized in the facial areas, but also in thorax and hands with the albinos patients. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination underwent with all patients. Conclusion. There are basal cell carcinomas among Malagasy people whose origins are Arabian, African and Asiatic (Indonesia and Ma- laysia). However, more research is needed to establish epidemiology of basal cell carcinomas in Madagascar.
