Abstract

Background: Seborrheic keratoses are benign intraepidermal neoplasms arising from epidermal keratinocytes. Age and UV exposure have a role in the course of the disease. Seborrheic keratosis consists of several types of cells, and transformation into various epithelial tumors originating from the same cell type can occur. Therefore, basal cell carcinoma may arise from the basaloid cells, which is the most commonly reported malignant neoplasm in seborrheic keratosis. Various treatment modalities are available to treat seborrheic keratoses. We report a case report of seborrheic keratosis resembling basal cell carcinoma and treated using surgical excision with the advancement flap technique. Case presentation: A 76-year-old man came with complaints of itchy, blackish-brown lumps on his left ear 3 months ago. On examination of the dermatological status on the helix auricula sinistra, there was a solitary nodule of blackish brown color with a diameter of 1cm x 1cm x 1cm and an ulcer with an uneven surface, well-defined, telangiectatic (+). An examination of the biopsy showed the results of seborrheic keratosis, keratotic type. The management of this case is excision with an advancement flap. Conclusion: Seborrheic keratosis is one of the most common benign skin tumors that occur in old age. Excision with an advancement flap showed good clinical improvement.

Abstract

Background: Keloid is a growing neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of benign fibroblasts. The chest, shoulders, head, especially the ear lobes, neck, arms, and upper back are the areas most commonly affected by keloids. The use of a fillet flap allows dissection of the keloid core and leaves loose skin for wound closure. This study aims to describe the surgical management of keloids in the auricular region using the core excision technique with a keloid fillet flap with a combination of corticosteroid injections. Case presentation: A 54-year-old man came with the main complaint of a red lump with hard consistency and itching on the right ear. The management of this patient was surgery using the core excision technique with a keloid fillet flap followed by intra-operative intralesional and immediate post-operative corticosteroid injection and then programmed for corticosteroid injection at the next follow-up. Post-operative therapy was given cefixime 2x100mg and oral analgesic mefenamic acid 3x500mg for 5 days. Conclusion: Keloid surgery is the treatment of choice because it produces good cosmetic results quickly. Routine follow-up and additional therapy are required to prevent a future post-operative recurrence.

Abstract

Background: Anogenital condylomata acuminata caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) presents a significant therapeutic challenge due to high recurrence rates after conventional cytodestructive therapies. Intralesional immunotherapy aims to induce a host-mediated immune response, offering a promising alternative. This report investigates the efficacy, safety, and immunological rationale of a novel, single-dose Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) protocol in an immunologically primed population. Methods: In this prospective case series, three immunocompetent patients with extensive, therapy-refractory anogenital condylomata were enrolled. Following a standardized protocol, each patient received a single, calculated intralesional injection of BCG vaccine into the largest index lesion. The primary outcome was complete clinical and dermoscopic clearance. Patients were evaluated at regular intervals for efficacy and safety over a 12-month follow-up period. Result: All three patients achieved complete clinical and dermoscopic clearance of both the injected and distant, untreated lesions within a rapid timeframe of 6 to 10 weeks. The treatment was well-tolerated, with adverse events limited to anticipated and transient local inflammatory reactions. No recurrences were documented in any patient during the 12-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Single-dose intralesional BCG immunotherapy appears to be a highly effective, durable, and safe therapeutic strategy for recalcitrant anogenital condylomata. The observed pan-lesional clearance strongly suggests the induction of a systemic, cell-mediated anti-HPV immune response. These compelling preliminary findings provide a strong rationale for validation through larger, randomized controlled trials.
