“…In this series, its incidence was even higher, approximately 90%, than the mean incidence in the literature (75%) [6]. In an extensive sample of 500 patients with head and neck NMSC, a study revealed a BCC incidence of 72% and SCC incidence of 28% [16].…”

Background. To evaluate the surgical treatment results of a consecutive series of patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer in critical facial regions such as the nose, lip, eyelid, ear, forehead, cheek, and chin. Methods. This was a prospective observational cohort study evaluating the surgical treatment results of 102 patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer who underwent surgical excision and required some type of reconstruction. The reconstruction strategy used, histological type and margins, aesthetic result, and complications were evaluated. Results. The most common facial site was the nose (48.01%), followed by the eyelid, ear, cheek, forehead, and lip. The most frequently used type of reconstruction was the advancement flap (30.39%), followed by transposition flap (27,45%), rotation flap (14.70%), and grafts (10.78%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent histological type, accounting for 90.19% of the sample, with 54.90% of these cases being of the nodular subtype. Disease-free margins were obtained in 94.11% of the patients, and only one patient presented compromised margins and underwent marginal extension. A good cosmetic result was found in 93.13% of the participants. Conclusion. Surgical treatment can provide excellent oncological, functional, and cosmetic results in the treatment of patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer at critical facial sites.

Introduction: Malignant tumors of the skin include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and tumors of the skin appendages.Skin lesions in the head and neck region are frequently encountered in the geriatric population. Although these lesions are generally benign, it is widely known that the prevalence of malignant lesions increases with age.In adults, 80% of the masses in the neck, except benign thyroid diseases, are of neoplastic origin and this rate reaches 90% after the 5th decade. About 70% of these neoplastic masses are malignant, and three-quarters of these are metastatic and one-fourth is primary malignancies. Objectives: Increasing world population, increasing survival time and increasing geriatric patient population create some differences in healthcare. We planned this study for this purpose. Methods: The data of 73 patients aged 65 and over were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups as 65-75 years old (Group 1), > 75 years old (Group 2), by age. Results: Premalignant lesions were found to be statistically significantly higher in Group 1 (p<0.01). It was observed that malignant lesions were statistically significantly more common in the skin compared to the subcutaneous tissue. (p=0.015) Malignant skin lesions were observed statistically significantly more frequently in the neck region compared to other regions (p=0.004). Conclusions: The risk of malignancy in the patient group over 75 years is approximately doubled. It is necessary to approach the neck and subcutaneous masses carefully in terms of malignancy in the geriatric patient group

“…Therefore, cosmetic issues are the priority as far as the decisions for managing basal cell carcinoma of the forehead are concerned, immediately after to radicality of tumor excision. Local advancement and rotation flaps, which are standard options for scalp reconstruction, result in good esthetic outcomes and provide a reasonable supply of tissue to cover large defects 1‐3 …”

“…However, these methods require careful planning to avoid excessive tension and preserve vasculature 2,3 . Although there are many other defect repair methods including full‐thickness skin grafts, meshed split‐thickness skin grafts, second‐intention healing, and partial closure, they may lead to suboptimal results 2 .…”
