“…Surprisingly, our study found a higher incidence among females, in line with some other studies. This discrepancy could be attributed to the fact that Indian housewives, especially rural women, are exposed to intermittent, intense UVR during household chores and fieldwork [14][15][16][17][18]. BCC primarily results from cumulative UVR exposure.…”

Background and objective Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy of the skin. Reconstruction of post-excisional defects in BCC should follow the subunit principle for better outcomes. The location of BCC of the face is determined based on facial units; however, very few studies have described the involvement of multiple units and multiple subunits in BCC. In this study, we aimed to provide valuable insights into the management of BCC involving various facial units and subunits, thereby contributing to improved patient care and outcomes. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective study at the Plastic Surgery Department of the SCB Medical College in Cuttack, Odisha, from January 2020 to January 2022, after obtaining ethical approval from the SCB Medical College IRB (no: 1155). We examined 35 patients with BCC of the face. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients with early-stage and primary tumors that were mobile, not attached to underlying bone or cartilage, and amenable to surgical resection. Conversely, patients with late-stage, neglected, and recurrent tumors, fixed tumors, or those infiltrating the underlying bone or cartilage were excluded from the study. Data collection involved retrieving pertinent information from medical records, including parameters such as age, sex, tumor site, type of flap utilized, follow-up, and any complications observed. The tumor sites were further divided into six separate groups based on facial aesthetic units: the forehead, the nose, the area around the eyes, the cheek, the mouth, and the area around the ear, each with its own subunits. Results A total of 35 patients were included in this study, comprising 15 males (42.85%) and 20 females (57.15%), with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.33. The ages of the patients ranged from 42 to 68 years. Among the facial units, the nose was the most commonly involved (in seven cases), while the lip was the least commonly affected (in one case). In 24 cases, a single unit was involved, while 11 cases involved multiple units. Furthermore, single subunits were affected in 18 cases, double subunits in 10 cases, three subunits in five cases, four subunits in one case, and five subunits in another case. Notably, no cases exhibited flap necrosis, wound dehiscence, wound hematoma, or seroma, indicating excellent surgical outcomes. All flaps remained viable, and all patients were followed up for a minimum of one year, with no reported recurrence during the follow-up period ranging from 6 to 18 months, reaffirming the effectiveness of the treatment approach. Conclusions For small, superficial lesions, full-thickness skin grafts (FTSG) are a suitable treatment option. However, when dealing with larger lesions that encompass multiple subunits, the preferred approach involves reconstructing with locoregional flaps. It is essential to plan the procedure carefully, taking into account the goal of positioning the final scar along the junction o...

Introduction Second primary malignancy as squamous cell carcinoma of larynx is rare after squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa. Case Report A 47 year old male patient presented with a painless, progressive ulcer of left buccal mucosa near the angle of mouth for the last 3 months who also developed alteration in the quality of voice and respiratory distress 2 months later. On biopsy buccal lesion came out to be moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Direct laryngoscopy revealed a glottic growth and guided biopsy from the lesion revealed well differentiated keratinising squamous cell carcinoma which was managed successfully by total laryngectomy and buccal carcinoma by wide local excision followed by primary closure and supraomohyoid neck dissection in the same sitting. Discussion Having both index primary tumour and second primary tumour in head and neck region is a rare occurrence more so glottic carcinoma occurring synchronously with buccal carcinomas. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment in both the conditions.
