Clinical, dermoscopic and histological features of a combined tumor composed of a melanoma in situ, a basal cell carcinoma and an intradermal naevus

Dermatol Reports. 2012 Dec 4;4(1):e11. doi: 10.4081/dr.2012.e11. eCollection 2012 Jan 2.

Abstract

The combined tumors are neoplasms consisting of 2 or more distinct cell population that are intimately admixed. The presence of more than one neoplasm in the same lesion comprising melanocytes and keratinocytes are rare but well documented. We report a case of a 65-year-old man with a melanoma in situ, a basal cell carcinoma and an intradermal naevus in collision that clinically appeared as a single lesion. Clinical, dermoscopic and histological features are discussed.

Keywords: combined tumor.; melanoma; superficial basal cell carcinoma.
