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.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality involving the use of a photosensitizing agent, oxygen, and light of a specific wavelength to produce selective cell death. PDT has been reported to be useful in treating nonmelanoma skin cancers and a variety of benign skin conditions. We treated condyloma acuminata on the vulvar area with topical PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and a 632nm diode laser. After two treatment sessions the lesion was completely cleared. The light intensity was 100mW/cm2, and the light dose was 50 and 60J/cm2 respectively. Topical PDT may be a safe and effective treatment modality for condyloma acuminata.
