Background: Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) of the perioral region is not uncommon. Basal cell carcinoma is predominant in the upper lip area and squamous cell carcinoma in the lower lip area. While smaller lesions can be treated by excision followed by primary closure larger defects after tumor surgery can be challenging.Objectives: Analysis of outcome after complete surgical excision with micrographical control of excision margins (delayed Mohs surgery) of large NMSC's of the perioral region (lips and chin). Patients and methods:This is a retrospective, single-center analysis of patients with defects after delayed Mohs surgery of ≥ 3 cm of the perioral region. The study included a total of 25 patients (4 women and 21 men) with a mean age of 83.7 years. Twenty patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and five had basal cell carcinoma. The lower lip was affected in 19 patients, the upper lip in 4 patients and the chin in 2 patients. Tumor stage was either T1N0M0 or T2N0M0. The most common procedure for lower lip defect closure was staircase or modified staircase technique. Cheek advancement flaps were used for upper lip defect closure. Inferiorly based nasolabial rotational flap, cheek rotational flap and modified Webster flap were also employed. In one patient Webster flap and unilateral staircase technique were combined. Results:In all patients the tumor was removed completely with preservation of function and aesthetics. No local recurrence was observed after a median follow-up of 4.9 years. Conclusion:Perioral reconstruction after removal of large NMSC is a complex issue. The age group of over 70 years, frequently with comorbidities, requires a robust surgical technique with short operation times and tailored approaches for defect closure. (J Dermatol Case Rep.

how and when to perform a skin biopsy of a pigmented lesion. What the surgeon need to knowAt present times, general surgeons are continuously faced to evaluate patients with pigmented lesions. Thus, is very important that surgeons acquire adequate knowledge not only to distinguish between suspicious lesion and non suspicious lesion, but also to correctly assess when and how to perform a skin biopsy. The early detection of melanoma and non melanoma skin cancer is one of the most important factors to achieve a better prognosis. The main objective of this article is to provide surgeons some tips and pitfalls to help accurate the evaluation and diagnosis of pigmented lesions. The authors also want to stress out the importance of the team work between surgeons and dermatologist, due that is well documented that multidisciplinary approach to skin cancer raises the possibilities of early diagnosis, adequate treatment and better results for patients with skin cancer. key words: Skin cancer, suspicious lesion, diagnosis, biopsy. resumenEn la actualidad, el cirujano continuamente se ve enfrentado a evaluar distintos tipos de lesiones cutáneas en los pacientes, por lo que debe tener conocimientos de las características que hacen que una lesión sea sospechosa o no, para evaluar correctamente cuándo y cómo realizar una biopsia de una lesión cutánea. El diagnóstico precoz, tanto del melanoma como del cáncer de piel no melanoma, ha demostrado ser clave para mejorar el pronóstico de nuestros pacientes.

Background'Keratinocyte cancer' is now the preferred term for the most commonly identified skin cancers basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), which were previously commonly categorised as non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). Keratinocyte cancer (KC) represents about 95% of malignant skin tumours. Lifestyle changes have led to increased exposure to the sun, which has, in turn, led to a significant increase of new cases of KC, with a worldwide annual incidence of between 3% and 8%. The successful use of preventive measures could mean a significant reduction in the resources used by health systems, compared with the high cost of the treatment of these conditions. At present, there is no information about the quality of the evidence for the use of these sun protection strategies with an assessment of their benefits and risks. ObjectivesTo assess the effects of sun protection strategies (i.e. sunscreen and barrier methods) for preventing keratinocyte cancer (that is, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) of the skin) in the general population. Search methodsWe searched the following databases up to May 2016: the Cochrane Skin Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and LILACS. We also searched five trial registries and the bibliographies of included studies for further references to relevant trials.
