Thuong doc cao (TDC) is a Vietnamese traditional herbal formulation made from heat-eradicated herb medications. 100 randomly selected patients with cancers who were treating by Cobalt-60 radiotherapy were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 50 patients was served as intervention group, and the other served as control. Group 1 received TDC application and the other applied by the solution of 0.9% sodium. Results of radiotherapy in two groups, the effect of TDC on treatment and on self-reported feeling of patients were evaluated. It was found that TDC reduced the severity of skin lesions in irradiated areas. The patients could receive the expected irradiation doses. TDC provided the ease and cool feels, reduced the stretched and hot feels in irradiated areas. There was not any case of allergy or adverse effects.

Syringoid eccrine carcinoma is a rare adnexal tumor of eccrine origin, and has metastatic potential and high recurrence rate following conventional surgical excision. Mohs micrographic surgery has been commonly used for various malignant skin cancers to minimize the defect after surgery, and to decrease the recurrence rate. We present a case of syringoid eccrine carcinoma successfully treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. CEOT is a benign but a locally infiltrative tumor. CEOT has two clinical variants: intraosseous (central) CEOT and extraosseous (peripheral) CEOT. The peripheral type is rare. In this paper, we report two cases of CEOT. The diagnoses of the cases were verified by histopathology. This study aims to explore the clinical and imaging appearances of CEOT and improve the understanding of the disease.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common head and neck cancer that is usually restricted to the mucosal surfaces and skin, so sometimes it is very difficult to diagnose a primary lesion. We report a case of a 73-year-old man who presented as a small skin ulcer and parotid mass. The pathologic diagnosis was a squamous cell carcinoma, although it was very difficult to distinguish between skin cancer invading the parotid gland and a primary SCC of the arotid gland extending to the skin. The patient was treated with surgical resection and radiation therapy.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of primary epithelial skin cancers is rising steadily, but little is khown of the clinical features of primary epithelial skin cancers, and limited data are available in Korea. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to analyze the clinical characteristics of primary epithelial skin cancers. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 106 cases of primary epithelial skin cancers observed between 1989 and 1995. RESULTS: 1. Basal cell curcinoma(BCC), 41 cases, was the most common skin cancer. The numbers of cases of squamosis cell carcinoma(SCC) and Bowens disease(BD) were 33 and 24, respectively. There were 3 cases of mixed type(BCC + SCC), 2 cases of Pagers disease and 3 cases of extramammary Pgets disease. 2. The average age at ciragnosis and the mean duration of disease were as follows . BCC(65.5 years old 4.34 years), SCC(70.2 years old-1.63 years), BD(59.3 years old-2.85 years) 3. The face was the most common anatomic site for BCC(93%) and SCC(70%), but the trunk was the most common site for BD. 4. The most common c inical type of BCC was the noduloulcerative type(65% ) and the solid type was t.he most frequert histologic type of BCC. 5. In histologic grading of SCC, grade I and II lesions occupied in 88% of total cases. The numbers of special variants of SCC were as follows aenoid(4), spindle cell(1), verrucous(2) CONCLUSIONS : 1. The average age of patient with primary epithelial skin cancers was older thar: in earlier reports in Korea, and was closer to the recent, reports in western count.ries. 2. The number of cases of BD was much higher than that reported previously. This emphasizeci the importance of tissue examination for the pigmented lesions of the skin, especially on the trunk and extremities.
