1/6. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in black patients with discoid lupus erythematosus.skin cancer is relatively uncommon among black individuals. Squamous cell carcinoma occurred in a scar of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus in a black patient. A review of 7 previously reported cases of squamous cell carcinoma in blacks with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus indicates a tendency of the cancer to metastasize. Sun exposure of the hypopigmented lesions of chronic discoid lupus and possibly other factors predispose to cancer of the skin. Poorly healing skin lesions in chronic discoid lupus should arouse suspicion of malignant change.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip developing in discoid lupus erythematosus.Since the substitution of steroids and antimalarials for irradiation in the treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus, squamous cell carcinoma arising in discoid lupus erythematosus is thought by some to be an uncommon occurrence. A review of the recent literature (subsequent to 1945) revealed fifteen cases, of which seven occurred in the lips. In one of twelve of the cases a history of irradiation was documented. In three other cases, there was no evidence of its use. We report an additional case of squamous cell carcinoma occurring in the lower lip of a 24-year-old black woman in the absence of radiation therapy. A review of the literature and a discussion of possible predisposing factors are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. Surgical and aesthetic considerations of cancer of the skin in the black American.Until recently, cancer of the skin in blacks has been thought to be quite rare. This paper reviews some of the recent findings from several large series of black patients with skin cancer at our institution. Surgical management of representative cases is illustrated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lip. Occurrence in blacks with discoid lupus erythematosus.In two black patients, squamous cell carcinoma of the lip developed within lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). The association of DLE and squamous cell carcinoma is unusual in blacks, as is the anatomical site involved in these cases. Enhanced metastatic potential may be present when squamous cell carcinoma arises in DLE of the lips.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. Squamous cell carcinoma arising in lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus in black persons.Squamous cell carcinoma developing in lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus is rare. This article describes two patients, one with a carcinoma of the scalp and one with carcinoma of the upper lip. A review of the literature on squamous cell carcionoma in black persons as well as squamous cell carcinoma of the upper lip is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. pulmonary blastoma presenting as a solitary lip metastasis: case report and review of the literature.pulmonary blastoma (PB) is an uncommon primary lung malignancy. This neoplasm was first described by Barrett and Barnard in 1945. The tumor is composed of immature epithelial and mesenchymal tissues which may recapitulate early embryological lung development. Under the microscope, the globular component resembles immature bronchus and connective tissue as seen in embryonic lung. More than one hundred cases have been reported in the literature. PB is more frequent in older people and in males and tends to affect blacks at younger ages. Symptomatology varies from asymptomatic to symptoms of a non-specific pulmonary disease. cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain, respiratory distress, fever, anorexia and weight loss are the most common presenting features. The most common roentgenologic pattern is a well-demarcated peripheral lesion, encapsulated by compression or atelectatic lung tissue, although in some cases there is a tendency to lobulation and cavitation. The size of the mass varies from a small peripheral nodule to a mass occupying the entire lobe or hemithorax. The treatment of choice has been surgical excision, radiation and, in selected cases, a combination of chemotherapy with radiation. The prognosis of this malignancy is poor; overall five-year survival is approximately 16 percent. No correlation has been established between histopathologic criteria and survival. The factors that indicate poor prognosis are tumor recurrence, metastasis at initial presentation, tumor size over 5 cm and lymph node metastasis. liver, central nervous system and bones are the most frequent location of distant metastases. A rare case is presented of a pulmonary blastoma with an upper lip metastasis occurring in a paraplegic male. diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy findings.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = black (Clic here for more details about this article) |
