Cutis verticis gyrata is a rare disease characterized by convoluted folds and deep furrows of the scalp, resembling the gyri and sulci of the cerebral cortex. Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in Caucasians, patients frequently presenting multiple tumors. We report the case of a 62 year old male, Caucasian patient, from the urban area, who addressed the dermatology department of our hospital for multiple tumors located on the face and upper trunk. A careful examination revealed cerebriform folding of the skin of the scalp. Neurological, psychological, ophthalmological and endocrine disorders were disproven. The patient was diagnosed with …

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. …
