ABSTRACT
Introduction: basal cell carcinoma represents approximately 70 to 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers, it is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin, and its growth is slow and rarely metastasizes.Objective: to characterize the clinical and epidemiological variables of patients with basal cell carcinoma.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study was carried out in 159 patients diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, attended Maxillofacial Service at Celia Sánchez Manduley Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital, Manzanillo province, from the period December 2017 - December 2019. The following variables were studied: age, sex, skin color, origin, location, clinical forms and surgical technique performed. Descriptive statistics was applied in the research.
Results: the most affected group was the seventh decade of life (23,3 %), with a slight predominance of female sex (55,3 %). Most of the patients with basal cell carcinoma were white skinned (54,7 %), the rural population was the most affected (56 %). The nasal region was the most damaged (37,7 %), the nodular pearly clinical form (49,7 %) was the predominant one and most patients were treated with simple excision (64,8 %).
Conclusions: basal cell carcinoma predominated in females, mostly in patients with white skin, of rural origin and the most damaged area was the nose. The main risk factor for this disease is exposure to ultraviolet radiation, hence the importance of prevention and photo-protection from childhood.
