Abstract

Multiple eruptive cutaneous non-melanoma skin cancers(NMSCs) have been reported to arise at the sites of skin surgery, including the area affected by the primary tumour and split thickness skin graft(STSG) donor and recipient sites. The aim of this study is to make a critical revision of the literature, analysing the clinical, histological features and outcomes of eruptive NMSCs after cutaneous surgery. Up to August 2021, according to our systematic review of the literature, we have collected 18 published articles and a total of 33 patients, including our two cases. The results of this review highlight five red flags that clinicians should consider: (i) lower and upper limbs represent the cutaneous site with the highest risk, representing 82.35% of the cases in the literature; (ii) the median time to onset of eruptive NMSCs that is approximately 6 weeks; (iii) primary NMSCs were completely excised with free margins on histologic examination in all cases of the literature, and therefore the eruptive NMSCs reported could not be considered recurrences; (iv)  any surgical technique involves a risk to promote eruptive NMSCs; (v) treatment of eruptive NMSCs includes surgery or combined surgical and medical treatment. However, eruptive NMSCs recurrences are a real medical challenge and have always been treated combining surgical and medical treatment, with complete resolution in about one third of patients.  In conclusion, even though the pathogenesis remains unclear, this review highlights 5 red flags which could support clinicians in the diagnosis and management of eruptive of NMSCs after skin surgery.
