Patients with recurrent tumours after cryosurgery, treatment results
| Age | Histopathology | Location | Biopsy | Treatment | Result | Follow up, remarks (y/m) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recurrent tumours following cryosurgery of primary basal cell carcinomas within 1st series (2nd series: no recurrent tumours). The recurrent tumours developed at the site of the primary tumour or in directly adjacent areas. Recurrent tumours following excisions and their treatment were described by Buschmann.31 | |||||||
| 1 | 56 | basal cell naevus syndrome | lower lid, lateral | before | cryosurgery | tumour free (eyelids) | 11/1; annually up to 20 new tumours at the body |
| 2 | 68 | basal cell carcinoma | medial angle | during | cryosurgery | tumour free | 14/1; 13 y ago basal cell carcinoma at temple |
| 3 | 62 | basal cell carcinoma | medial angle | during | cryosurgery | tumour free | 10/6 |
| 4 | 50 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, middle | during | cryosurgery | tumour free | 8/6 |
| 5 | 73 | morphoea-like basal cell carcinoma | medial angle | before | cryosurgery | tumour free | 0/8; died from other disease |
| 6 | 77 | basal cell carcinoma (lid) | upper lid, middle | before | cryosurgery | tumour free (lid) | 3/0; multiple morphoea like basal cell carcinoma at face |
| 7 | 60 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, middle + lateral | before | cryosurgery | tumour free | 12/3 |
| 8 | 46 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, medial | during | cryosurgery | tumour free | 6/7; 1st operation = excision + cryosurgery |
| 9 | 50 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, middle + lateral | during | cryosurgery | tumour free | 10/5; 1st operation = excision + cryosurgery |
| 10 | 47 | basal cell carcinoma | nasal of med angle | during | excision | tumour free | 13/6 |
| 11 | 57 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, medial | during | excision | tumour free | 1/10; 8 years interval |
| 12 | 53 | basal cell carcinoma | median angle + lower lid | during | excision | tumour free | 3/0; 5 y interval 2 y ago basal cell carcinoma of the temple |
| 13 | 49 | morphoea-like basal cell carcinoma | median angle and nose | during | excision | 2nd recurrent tumour | laser surgery, 4/11, tumour free |
| 14 | 67 | basal cell carcinoma | lower lid, median + lateral | none | none | bad general health | died 5 m after diagnosis of recurrent tumour |
| 15 | 39 | (1) basal cell carcinoma | median angle + lower lid | before and during | cryosurgery, excisions | 3 times recurrent tumour | again suspected recurrent tumour |
| (2) morphoea-like (recurrent tumour) | |||||||
