Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Sebaceous Gland Diseases
Diseases of the sebaceous glands such as sebaceous hyperplasia and sebaceous cell carcinoma (SEBACEOUS GLAND NEOPLASMS).
Carcinoma, Merkel Cell
A carcinoma arising from MERKEL CELLS located in the basal layer of the epidermis and occurring most commonly as a primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Merkel cells are tactile cells of neuroectodermal origin and histologically show neurosecretory granules. The skin of the head and neck are a common site of Merkel cell carcinoma, occurring generally in elderly patients. (Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1245)
Carcinoma, Embryonal
A highly malignant, primitive form of carcinoma, probably of germinal cell or teratomatous derivation, usually arising in a gonad and rarely in other sites. It is rare in the female ovary, but in the male it accounts for 20% of all testicular tumors. (From Dorland, 27th ed & Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1595)
Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome
Hereditary disorder consisting of multiple basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, and multiple skeletal defects, e.g., frontal and temporoparietal bossing, bifurcated and splayed ribs, kyphoscoliosis, fusion of vertebrae, and cervicothoracic spina bifida. Genetic transmission is autosomal dominant.
Carcinoma, Bronchogenic
Malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelium of the BRONCHI. It represents a large group of epithelial lung malignancies which can be divided into two clinical groups: SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER and NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CARCINOMA.

Trichilemmal Cyst Nevus with a Sebaceous Nevus Component.
A 23-year-old man with a typical trichilemmal cyst nevus is reported. This recently described disorder is sufficiently characteristic to differentiate it from sebaceous nevus, nevus comedonicus, porok...
Malignant Blue Nevus Arising in a Giant Congenital Cellular Blue Nevus in an Infant.
Giant congenital blue nevus (GCBN) is rare and usually occurs on the scalp. Malignant blue nevus (MBN) is also rare and has a poor prognosis. We report a case of MBN arising in a GCBN on the back....
BACKGROUND: Sebaceous carcinoma represents a rare and potentially fatal adnexal malignancy. Poorly-differentiated sebaceous carcinoma consisting of infiltrative basaloid tumor cells with inapparent li...
Topical photodynamic therapy for nevus sebaceous on the face.
Recently, topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been tried to treat sebaceous gland disorders. However, only one case of nevus sebaceous treated with PDT has been reported. Our aim was to investigate...
Complex limbal choristoma in linear nevus sebaceous syndrome managed with scleral grafting.
Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is characterized by nevus sebaceous, mental retardation, seizures, and ocular abnormalities such as complex limbal choistoma. A young male with history of mass i...

Celecoxib in Preventing Basal Cell Carcinoma in Patients With Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development of cancer. The use of celecoxib may be an effective way to prevent the development of basal...
The purpose of this study is to reduce the number of new surgically eligible BCCs by 50% appearing during month 3-18 of medication ingestion.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tazarotene, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE...
Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) Biopsy for Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma of Eyelid
Primary Objectives: 1. Identify the rate of SLN (sentinel lymph node) positivity for eyelid sebaceous gland carcinomas. 2. Identify the false negative events associated wi...
Evaluation of Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy in Basal Cell Carcinoma With 6 Months Follow-up
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT)in treatment of Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and recurrence rate after 6 months.
