Background/aim: The literature does not include sufficient data on the associations between host immune responses and stromal reactions in different basal cell carcinoma (BCC) subtypes. The aim of the study was to compare host immune responses and stromal reactions between basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) and high-risk (HR) and low-risk (LR) BCC subtypes. Materials and methods: The study included 35 BSC, 40 HR-BCC, and 40 LR-BCC patients. Age, sex, lesion location, density of peritumoral/adjacent perivascular inflammation, presence of lymphoid follicle formation, and stromal reaction type were compared between groups. Results: In all 3 groups, age, sex distribution, and lesion location were similar. …

This article concerning the rate of accurate diagnosis of keratinocyte carcinoma is reported by experienced surgeons. Keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) has been recently used in order to define basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Although an histopathologic analysis is standard for diagnosis, clinical diagnosis is still important for the choice of proper treatment. In this prospective study, 204 lesions were excised following clinical pre-diagnosis of keratinocyte carcinoma. The lesions were excised from the proper surgical limit for clinical diagnosis and sent for histopathologic examination. We have seen that we frequently confuse BCC s and SCC s with actinic keratosis. According …
