slightly raised lesions (as if stuck on surface) with soft
velvety or finely verrucous surface. It occurs on trunk,
face or extremities.
Treatment
1. Removal with a small sharp curette.
2. Freezing.
3. TCA.

Seborrheic Keratosis (Cont’d)
Keratoacanthoma (KA): rapidly growing, self healing, epidermal tumor
that has a striking resemblance, both clinically & histologically to SCC.
• Solitary KA: firm, skin-colored to pink, dome-shaped nodule with a
horn filled crater in its center. It usually involutes spontaneously in less
than 6 ms with slightly depressed scar.
![Page 8: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Seborrheic Keratosis (Cont’d)
• Multiple KAs:
Multiple self-healing epitheliomas
(Ferguson-Smith).
Eruptive keratoacanthoma
(Crzybowzki).
![Page 9: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Treatment of KA
• Excision biopsy to exclude SCC.
• Curettage and cauterization of small lesions.
• 5-fluorouracil intralesionally.
• Radiotherapy.
• Multiple KAs: methotrexate or oral retinoids.

Epidermal nevi
They are circumscribed hamartomatous lesions composed only of
keratinocytes. They present usually at birth or shortly later.
I) Localized type “Nevus Unius Lateris”
II) Systematized type “Ichthyosis hystrix”
![Page 12: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Epidermal nevi
• Epidermal nevus is a general term referring to birthmarks which
originate from skin structures
• “Nevus verrucous” is keratinocytes
• “Nevus sebaceous” from sebaceous glands
• “Nevus comedomicus” from hair follicles
• “Nevus syringocystadenoma” from sweat glands
![Page 13: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Cutaneous cysts
Epidermal cysts (the most common type)
• Spontaneously.
• Traumatic implantation of epidermis into the dermis.
• The wall of the cyst is composed of true epidermis, i.e. squamous,
granular & horn cells. The cyst is filled with horny material arranged in
laminated layers.

Milia
• Primary milia: arise spontaneously on face.
• Secondary milia: arise
In association with many dermatoses, e.g. BP, DEB,
PCT, LSA.
After trauma, e.g. dermabrasion.

Actinic keratosis (AK) “Solar keratosis”
• Most common premalignant skin lesion in elderly
persons (≥40 yrs), fair complexion, with excessive sun
exposure, > in men.
• Sun-exposed areas as face, dorsa of hands & bald
portions of the scalp in men.
• Multiple erythematous, ill-defined macules or papules,
often covered by adherent scales with little or no
infiltration. Marked hyperkeratosis may be seen.
![Page 23: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Actinic keratosis (Cont’d)
• SCC may develop in one or more of the lesions of AK
in about 20% of the patients, usually after a long latent
period, e.g. 10 years.
• SCC arising in AK or de-novo in sun-damaged skin
very rarely metastasize (0.5%), but in actinic cheilitis,
the incidence is 11%.
![Page 26: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Actinic keratosis (Cont’d)
Histopathology
• SCC in situ.
• Morphologically, anaplastic cells are present.
However, biologically, the lesions are still benign.
Invasion into the dermis, if present at all, is limited to
the most superficial portion.
![Page 27: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Actinic keratosis (Cont’d)
Radiotherapy is contraindicated.
• Sun avoidance.
• Electrodessication & curettage.
• Cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen.
• Topical chemotherapy: 5-fluorouracil, 0.1-5% (5-FU) –
Efudex cream®.
• Chemical peel with TCA 35%.
• Retinoids: oral or topical.
Treatment
![Page 28: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Leukoplakia
White patch or plaque on the mucosa that can’t be rubbed-off.
Types:
• Homogeneous leukoplakia: low malignant potential.
• Verrucous leukoplakia.
• Speckled leukoplakia: white nodules on an erythematous
background. Increased risk of malignant change.
• Smokers keratosis.
• Oral hairy leukoplakia.
All cases of leukoplakia should be examined
histologically.
![Page 29: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Leukoplakia (Cont’d)
Etiology • Chemical irritation, tobacco smoking.
• Mechanical irritation through dental stumps.
• HPV: HPV-11 & HPV-16.
• Candidal infection.
• Syphilis (usually on the dorsum of the tongue).
![Page 30: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Leukoplakia (Cont’d)
• The overall transformation rates of leukoplakia to SCC
range from 6-17%.
• The site is important: leukoplakias on the buccal
mucosa are usually benign, whereas leukoplakias of
the floor of the mouth have higher transformation
rates.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
• Malignant tumor of epidermal
keratinocytes with an average
metastatic rate of 2-3% of all
patients.
![Page 36: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
Etiology
I) Extrinsic factors:• Ultraviolet radiation: the major factor for the development of
non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). PUVA therapy also
increases the risk for development of SCC.
• Exposure to carcinogenic cpds, e.g. coal, arsenic, tobacco.
• Ionizing radiations from X-rays.
• HPVs, e.g. HPV-16 (cervical & penile SCCs), HPV-5 & -8
(oncogenic in EV) & HPV-6 & -11 (verrucous carcinoma of
anogenital areas).
![Page 37: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
SCC – Etiology (Cont’d)
II) Intrinsic factors (Cont’d)
• Genodermatoses: e.g. xeroderma pig., albinism, porokeratosis &
dysk. congenita have a high incidence of SCC & other cut.
malignancies.
• Immunosuppression: 2ry to immunosuppressive drugs, HIV inf.,
lymphomas or organ transplants.
![Page 38: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
SCC (Cont’d)
Clinically
• Solitary, firm, slowly enlarging nodule with indurated base.• Shallow ulcer with raised everted edge, indurated base.• Verrucous or fungoid lesions.
Histopathology
• The more malignant the tumor, the greater is the number of
atypical squamous cells & the less the number of differentiated
cells (horn pearls).
![Page 39: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
SCC (Cont’d)
Grading system
• Grade 1 (less malignant): more than 75% of the cells are differentiated, i.e. several horn pearls with relatively slight atypicality.
• Grade 2, more than 50%.• Grade 3, more than 25%.• Grade 4, less than 25% are differentiated (more
malignant).
The degree of atypicality of the tumor cells & the
depth of penetration are important factors in
grading.
![Page 40: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

![Page 41: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Paget’s disease of the breast
• Exclusively in women.
• Age: 55 years.
• It occurs unilaterally on the areola & nipple as a
sharply defined, slightly infiltrated area of erythema
showing scaling, oozing & crusting. Ulceration or
retraction of the nipple may be found.
• It is commonly associated with intraductal carcinoma
of the breast.
![Page 42: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Paget’s disease of the breast (Cont’d)
Origin of Paget cells
• The glandular origin was supported by immuno-
histochemical studies, e.g. carcinoembryogenic
antigen is found in Paget cells which is found also
in normal apocrine & eccrine glands but not in
keratinocytes or melanocytes.
Treatment • Modified radical mastectomy.
![Page 43: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Extramammary Paget’s disease
• Occurs commonly in the anogenital region, e.g. vulva, perianal area,
scrotum or axillae, i.e. areas in which apocrine glands occur.
• In 20% of cases, it is 2ry to extension of an adenocarcinoma, either of the
rectum to the perianal region, of the cervix to the vulva, or of the urinary
bladder to the urethra & glans penis.

• BCC is the most common malignancy in
humans.
• Although rarely metastatic, it is capable of
significant local destruction & disfigurement.
![Page 56: Dermatology 5th year, 1st lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b7eb594a7959a2088b458c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
BCC (Cont’d)
Predisposing factors• UV light.
• Chronic intake of inorganic arsenic.
• Predisposing skin conditions: dermatofibromas,
nevus sebaceous of Jahadsson, burn scars.
• Predisposing syndromes: nevoid basal cell
carcinoma syndrome, Basex syndrome, Rombo’s
syndrome & xeroderma pigmentosum.

peripheral cell layer of tumor masses show a palisade arrangement of
nuclei.
• Differentiated: either toward hair structure (keratotic BCC), toward
glandular structures (adenoid BCC) or toward sebaceous structures.
