Basal cell carcinoma, destructive ulcer of the right temple of a 67-year-old woman, which has been growing slowly and progressively for several years and measures approx. 5 x 3.5 cm. The largely clean ulceration shows isolated fibrinous coatings and small crusts at the ulcer margins. The edge of the ulcer is bulging or rough, especially towards the lateral corner of the eye. Minor actinic keratoses on the forehead are also present.
Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell (CD 30+) lymphoma. Painless, slowly progressive skin ulcer (62-year-old, otherwise healthy woman) which has been present for several months and treated as "pyoderma". Conspicuously raised wall of the ulcer and distinct induration of the reddened edges.
Squamous cell carcinoma in actinically damaged skin: Since a few months, slowly growing, very firm, not very pain-sensitive, ulcerated nodule; pronounced field carcinoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin: slowly growing for 6 months, sliding on the surface, 2.0 cm in diameter, hard, painless, bowl-shaped nodule with a hard ulcerated centre in the orbital region; no regional lymph node swelling.
Granuloma eosinophilicum faciei. red lump in the area of the cheek in a child, existing for months, not painful. slow progression of size. here typically a somewhat "punched" surface.
Cryptococcosis of the skin: Crusty plaque of approx. 3 x 3 cm in size surroundedby a reddish, slightly raised rim in the middle of the forehead of a 37-year-old HIV-infected person (not set to HAART at the time of presentation).
Acne excoriée des jeunes filles. multiple, symmetrically distributed, increasing, inflammatory, red papules and pustules as well as comedones and small scars in a 27-year-old woman. originally there were significantly fewer papules and pustules. for about 4 years the patient has tried to express the papules and pustules 2-3 times/week for cosmetic reasons.
Mycosis fungoides tumor stage: Mycosis fungoides has been known for many years, and for several months there has been a continuous occurrence of plaques and nodules on the face and upper extremity.
Basal cell carcinoma nodular: Irregularly configured, hardly painful, borderline red nodule (here the clinical suspicion of a basal cell carcinoma can be raised: nodular structure, shiny surface, telangiectasia); extensive decay of the tumor parenchyma in the center of the nodule.
Granuloma eosinophilicum faciei (Granuloma faciale): Typical finding in a 72-year-old man. No significant secondary diseases, no medication history. The finding has existed for several years, is slowly progressive. No significant symptoms.
