Long Cases
• You could get these!
• Last year’s finals! - Patient with recurrent SCC, with no symptoms. History focussing on skin exposure and social. Was asked about risk factors, macroscopic and microscopic appearance of different types of skin cancer and different treatments

Skin Examination• Scalp

• If lesions – consider local lymph nodes etc.

Psoriasis
![Page 5: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Definition
• Relapsing and remitting chronic skin condition characterised by scaly plaques
• Or inflammation of the dermis, with epidermal hyperproliferation
![Page 6: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Epidemiology
• ~2% of the population• Peak incidence in early 20s and 50s
Precipitated byinfection, drugs (antimalarials, B-blockers, lithium), sunlight, stress, scars, burns
![Page 7: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pathophysiology
Immune mediated leads to increased speed of skin turnover (28 days to 4), causes thickening of the epidermis.

Symptoms and Signs
Typically well demarcated red, scaly, symmetrical, non itchy plaques
• 5 main presentations
![Page 9: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Plaque – typically on extensor surfaces and scalp
![Page 10: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Guttate – small eruptions over trunk – typically 2 weeks post B streptococcal throat infection
![Page 11: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pustular – widespread sterile pustules
![Page 12: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Flexural – affects flexural aspects
![Page 13: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Erythrodermic – extreme form affecting 90%+ of body – can be fatal
![Page 14: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ManagementConservative – diet, weight loss, smoking cessation, exercise advice
Medical
Topical•Emolients•Vitamin D analogues•Topical steroids (mild to moderate)•Coal tar•Salicylic acid
Phototherapy•UVB•PUVA ( Psoralen + UVA)
Systemic•Immunosuppresent – Methotrexate, ciclosporin•Biologics – Infliximab, Adalimumab
Surgical – no real role

Skin Cancer
![Page 16: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aetiology/Risk Factors• Squamous cell – UV light exposure (sunbathing), fair
skin, radiation exposure, carcinogens, metastasise quickly
• Basal Cell – UV light exposure, radiation exposure, arsenic exposure, “never” metastasise – local tissue destruction
• Malignant melanoma – UV light exposure, metastasise rapidly
![Page 17: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Symptoms and signs
• Squamous cell – rapidly enlarging lesion, ill defined (variable), pink colouration, may have ulceration, scaling, bleeding or weep
• Basal cell – slow growing lesion, well demarcated papule, raised rolled pearly edges with central depression
• Malignant melanoma – a new or changing mole.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• ~20% of cutaneous malignancies
• ~70% on head or neck
• Premalignant conditions (Bowen’s disease, actinic Keratosis)
• 95% cure rate with excision if localised disease. But metastasises rapidly to lymph with poor outcome

Basal Cell Carcinoma
![Page 20: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Malignant Melanoma
• Asymmetrical
• Border irregularity
• Colour variation
• Diameter >6mm
• Evolution

Investigations
Biopsy/Excisional biopsy (Breslow depth, Clark level – for melanoma)
Stage – CT/PET
![Page 23: Psoriasis and Skin Cancer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568166f9550346895ddb590b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tx + PrognosisManagement• Conservative – reduce risk factors, smoking cessation• Medical – if for chemotherapy• Surgical – excision biopsy +/- lymph node resections
Prognosis• Basal cell – very good, fatality rare• Squamous cell – poor• Malignant melanoma – poorer (often metastasised at presentation)
