Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. It usually arises in sun-exposed areas of the body, with the face and neck being the most common sites for BCC. BCC is typically found in older individuals, but it is becoming more prevalent in people younger than 50. However, such cases in children under 15 are rarely encountered. Pigmented BCC is a common presentation in people of color, while such presentation is relatively unusual in Caucasians. Pediatric cases could be idiopathic, but it is more commonly associated with a genetic defect, such as basal cell nevus syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, Bazex syndrome, and albinism. Those cases could also arise from a congenital lesion, e.g., nevus sebaceous, radiotherapy-related, or solid organ transplant. Case Illustration: We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a chief complaint of growing tumor on the left cheek since he was 8 years old. He was diagnosed with childhood-onset BCC based on the findings of dermoscopy and skin biopsy. The patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion with 3 mm margins and a full-thickness skin graft obtained from the left retroauricular area. Discussion: Removal of the tumor with clear margins remains the gold standard for BCC treatment. This case presentation showed the best practice for BCC cases in the childhood population. Conclusion: The diagnosis of BCC should not be neglected in the childhood population.

Abstract

Background: Electrosurgery is a common surgical technique used to treat skin tumors. This procedure produces necrotic skin, which might impair the wound healing process, prompting physicians to prescribe topical antibiotics to prevent infection. This study aims to analyze the efficacy of sodium fusidate ointment compared to petrolatum for wound healing after electrosurgery. Methods: We conducted a double-blind, randomized, controlled study with a within-person design. The inclusion criteria were adult subjects with seborrheic keratosis or acrochordon with a size of 4 mm to 10 mm on the face and neck, with a minimum of 2 lesions. Electrodessication was performed on the subject lesions. The patients were then randomized to receive and sodium fusidate ointment or petrolatum. Follow-up was done for up to 14 days, during which wound healing score, erythema, edema, crusts, re-epithelialization, incidence of infection, and subjective symptoms were assessed. This study is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05353374). Results: Twenty-two subjects with 90 wounds were enrolled. The subjects had a mean age of 48.18 ± 11.25 years old and 86.4% of them had seborrheic keratosis. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in erythema, edema, crusts, re-epithelialization, infection, subjective symptoms, and total wound healing score appearance on days 3, 7, and 14 following the procedure. Conclusion: Both sodium fusidate ointment and petrolatum showed similar efficacy for wound healing after electrosurgery.
