Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin malignancy found in nonmelanoma skin cancer. There are multiple factors contribute to risks for BCC but the underlying mechanism is genetic alteration. The Sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway is implicated in the etiology of the most common BCC. We reported BCC nodular type in the tip of nasal region with increase SHH. Case Illustration: 50 years old man, presented with hyperpigmented tumor on the nasal tip which easily bleed since 6 months ago. Dermatological examination: the tip of nasal region: a solitaire irregular immobile hyperpigmented tumor, with the size of 2x1x0,3 cm, pearly border with rubbery consistency. Dermoscopy examination found multiple blue-gray globule and telangiectasia feature. Histopathology examination found nodule and micronodule with palisade feature in the periphery and “slit like retraction” in central. Immunohistochemistry examination found more than 50% cell show SHH expression. Wide surgical excision was done with tumor margin 3 mm. Discussion: The hedgehog (Hh) pathway known have important role in embryonic development, that responsible for patterning development organ and tisuue. SHH is one protein ligand that most study and well known in Hh pathways. Conclusion: Activating SHH pathway can resulting in unrestricted SMO activity that causes uncontrollable cell proliferation and eventually carcinogenesis. Increased expression of SHH can be used as a marker in aggresivity of BCC.

Abstract

Background: Xerosis and pruritus (XP) are the most common skin conditions in the elderly, manifesting clinically as roughness, scales, fissures, and mild-to-severe itching. Vitamin D improves skin hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and regulates the immune system. We aimed to determine the efficiency of topical 7-dehydrocholesterol (DHC)-vitamin D3 complex cream in elderly patients with XP. Methods: An experimental phase III study was performed on elderly women with XP from December 2021 to March 2022 at the Geriatric Dermatology Clinic of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang. Inclusion criteria were age older than 55 years, healthy or with comorbidity. The exclusion criteria include the use of moisturizer within two weeks before the study. DHC-vitamin D3 cream was applied on subject’s volar arms once a day. Overall dry skin score (ODSS), visual analog scale (VAS) for pruritus and adverse effects, skin hydration, TEWL, sebum level, serum vitamin D level, and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) were assessed at baseline and after 4 weeks. Statistical analysis was done with Wilcoxon and paired T-test. Results:Eighteen elderly women were included. Most subjects were 60 to 74 years old (83,3%). Half the subjects (50%) had comorbidity. There was a significant difference in skin hydration (p Conclusion: Topical 7-DHC vitamin D3 complex cream is proven to improve skin barriers, increase serum vitamin D levels, well-tolerated, and provided satisfaction and comfort in elderly women with XP.
