Abstract

Pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma of the External Auditory Canal: A Case ReportBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a locally aggressive tumor characterized by basal cell proliferation, superficial spreading, and it is rarely metastatic. It occurs particularly in the head and neck area and is rarely diagnosed in the temporal region. A type of BCC called pigmented BCC is rarely seen in the temporal region. While it is not an aggressive variant of BCC, pigmented lesions and malignant melanoma need to be considered in the differential diagnosis because of the production of pigment. In this article, we describe a 47-year-old female patient who presented with bloody otorrhea and ear itchiness and was diagnosed with pigmented BCC from a biopsy taken from the external auditory canal.

Özet

Bazal hücreli karsinom (BCC), bazal hücrelerin proliferasyonuyla karakterize yüzeyel yayılan genellikle lokal agresif davranışla seyreden çok ender olarak metastaz yapan bir tümördür. En sık baş-boyun bölgesinde bulunmasına rağmen, temporal bölgede ender olarak görülür. BCC'nin bir alt tipi olan pigmente BCC dış kulak yolunda çok daha ender görülmektedir. Agresif bir BCC alt tipi olmamasına rağmen, pigmentli olmaları nedeniyle benign pigmente lezyonlar ve özellikle malign melanomla ayırıcı tanıda dikkat edilmelidir. Makalemizde ara ara kanlı kulak akıntısı ve kaşıntı yakınması ile kliniğimize başvuran ve dış kulak yolundan alınan biyopsi sonucu pigmente BCC tanısı konulan kırk yedi yaşındaki kadın hastayı sunduk.
