Peri-Auricular Neoplasm – Deception in Waiting

By Simon Madorsky, MD

Attempts at excision without consideration of a differential diagnosis can often lead to tumor compromise. Over the last several months, SCARS Center has treated several tumors previously excised partially by other…

Smoothened and Patched and Sonic Hedgehogs – From Cyclopic Sheep to Targeted Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment

The cells are larger and…

S-100, tyrosinase, Melan A, and HMB 45 have been the workhorses of melanocyte histopathology. A new immunohistochemical stain, SOX10, has recently been shown to be a useful marker in the diagnosis of melanocytic tumors. It is strongly expressed by desmoplastic melanoma and is less likely to be expressed by background fibrocytes and histiocytes. Sry-related HMG-BOX…

Although, radiation of ear carcinomas can pose a risk of chondritis and poor healing, that risk can be virtually eliminated with lower dose fractions (radiation dose per treatment) spread over a longer course. Total dose requirement for skin cancer treatment ranges from 3500 cGy to 6000 cGy depending on the size and depth of the…
