Description/Abstract | A 69-year-old white Italian woman was first seen at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1981 concerning several skin growths on her back.^The patient had had several basal cell carcinomas surgically removed from her back during the preceding 5 years.^There was no history of arsenic ingestion or prolonged sun exposure and her family history was negative for skin cancer.^The patient had developed pulmonary tuberculosis in 1938 and was treated with pneumothorax therapy.^She had had more than 50 fluoroscopic examinations of the chest following this therapy, as well as multiple diagnostic x-ray films since that time.^On the back, clustered in the interscapular region, were multiple scars and nine erythematous nodules with pearly borders, telangiectasia, and translucent surfaces.^Within several nodules there were areas of light and dark brown pigmentation.^Biopsy of all lesions revealed basal cell carcinoma, some of which were pigmented, without evidence of chronic radiodermatitis.^All lesions were treated with curettage and electrodesiccation three times with good cosmetic results. |
