Basal cell carcinoma, nodular. solitary, 1.0 x 1.2 cm large, broad-based, firm, painless nodule, with a shiny, smooth parchment-like surface covered by ectatic, bizarre vessels. Note: There is no follicular structure on the surface of the nodule (compare surrounding skin of the bridge of the nose with the protruding follicles).
eczema, atopic. chronic, recurrent, itchy, red spots as well as slightly raised, rough, red plaques on the forehead of an 8-month-old girl. furthermore multiple, disseminated, partly crusty scratch excoriations. fine-lamellar scaling in the region of the nose
severe zoster ophthalmicus. right-sided headache increasing for 5 days with accompanying feeling of illness. redness and swelling of the skin with stabbing, shooting pain for 3 days. extensive erythema and swelling. skin is highly sensitive to touch. no fever. no leukocytosis.
Fistula, odontogenic. initially diffuse, later described redness as well as swelling, fluctuation, pain under pressure and spontaneous pain. several weeks later persistence of an inflammatory, slightly painful nodule which does not move on the underlying tissue and whose centre is surrounded by reddish granulation tissue. on pressure evacuation of serous fluid.
Fistula, odontogenic. permanent, small opening in the lower jaw surrounded by reddish granulation tissue with initial pressure and spontaneous pain and subsequent perforation with diminution or disappearance of the symptoms.
Artifacts: multiple, non-itching, flat, pyodermic ulcers up to 2.0 cm in diameter in an otherwise completely healthy patient, occurring anew without apparent reason. the new occurrence of skin changes cannot be plausibly justified. reasons different and not comprehensible. manipulation is strictly negated.
Complicative basal cell carcinoma with complete destruction of the auricle and the external auditory canal. Here, it is impressive as a crater-shaped ulcer. Typical is the raised, shiny rim.
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.
Zoster ophthalmicus: since 6 days increasing, left-sided headache with accompanying feeling of illness. since 3 days redness and swelling of the skin with stabbing, shooting pain. extensive erythema, blisters, scaly crusts and swelling
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.
Zoster: since 6 days increasing, left-sided headache with accompanying feeling of illness. since 3 days redness and swelling of the skin with stabbing, shooting pain. extensive erythema, blisters, scaly crusts and swelling.
Basal cell carcinoma, destructive. overview: Since many years progressive, large-area, slightly painful, ulcerative tumor in the left half of the face of an 82-year-old patient.
Zoster in the trigeminal region. 80-year-old female patient developed vesicles after initial unilateral cephalgias and dysesthesias, followed by hemorrhagic crusts and necroses in the region of the trigeminal I.
basal cell carcinoma ulcerated: skin change existing for years. initially asymptomatic nodule, increasing surface growth, central ulcer formation. typical for the diagnosis "basal cell carcinoma" is the raised, glassy appearing marginal wall. detailed view.
Basal cell carcinoma, destructive, since many years progressive, large-area, protuberant, foetid smelling tumor in a 100-year-old woman. Complete loss of the orbit, maxillary sinus, zygomatic arch and eyeball as well as partial loss of the glabella.
Basal cell carcinoma, nodular, centrally ulcerated tumor with a clear wall at the edge of the temporal region. Ulcer not painful. Characteristic for the diagnosis "basal cell carcinoma ulcerated" is the raised, reflecting wall of the "ulcer" with the bizarre vascular structures already visible with the naked eye, which run over the wall (see edge region below right).
