Abstract

Background: The incidence of skin cancer has been increasing over the past decades globally. At present, there is no valid national cancer data in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the increment of skin cancer cases at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: In this retrospective descriptive study, we evaluated all pigmented skin tumor cases from June 2014 to June 2017. Data were obtained from the Department of Anatomical Pathology and medical records at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital. Data were compared with previous reports. Results: From 263 skin cancer cases, the most frequent skin cancer was basal cell carcinoma (BCC; 66.9%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 27.4%), and malignant melanoma (MM; 5.7%). Most of the skin cancer were predominantly in the female population. In BCC and SCC, most of the patients were within the age group above 60 years (n = 106 and 18, respectively). In MM, the incidence is greater in age group of 41–50 years (n = 5). For BCC and SCC, the distribution sites of lesions were mostly in sun-exposed areas, whereas the distribution sites of MM were mostly in non-sun-exposed areas. Median diameters of BCC, SCC, and MM were 2, 4, and 6.5 cm, respectively. There was an increase of BCC incidence from 1996 to 2017. Conclusion: In comparison with other types, the incidence of BCC in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital is increasing. A well-documented skin cancer registry is required to establish national data of skin cancer in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Non-pustular annular psoriasis is a rare condition in which a type of plaque psoriasis appears with ring-like lesions and a clearer central appearance. The disease activities in psoriasis may be evaluated clinically. It is essential to provide a more meaningful approach to treatment management. Case illustration: A 33-year-old woman complained of a one-year history of multiple erythematous, scaly, and annular plaques with central clearing. Some lesions were surrounded by discrete pinpoint papules on several parts of her body. The lesions worsened during seven weeks of topical and systemic therapy. Discussion: Psoriasis is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disease with predominantly skin and joint involvement. High disease activity or unstable psoriasis was defined as recent exacerbations showing pinpoint papules developing around established and erythematous borders of the lesions. The active severe disease may present with systemic involvement due to the production of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines in the skin lesions and circulation. Conclusion: A complete clinical history and physical examination can help the clinician diagnose non- pustular annular psoriasis. Several factors may cause worsening disease activity in a patient with psoriasis. Distinguishing between stable and unstable plaque psoriasis is essential to obtain information on psoriasis pathomechanism related to systemic involvement and managing therapeutic strategies. A multidisciplinary approach must be conducted in the management of a patient with high disease activity.
