ABSTRACT

All the patients requiring histopathologic study in our Dermatology Department of HCU Lozano Blesa in Zaragoza, from January 1997 to december 2001, were registered.
So, we have obtained and described a feature about the more frequent histopathological diagnoses, and its distribution by sex and groups of age. A total among of 11647 patients were studied during this survey (2329 biopsies per year, and 6.4 per day); including 4736 male (40.7%) and 6911 female (59.3%). The ratio male/female was 1:1.46.
The five groups more frequently biopsed in a decreased order was: Pigmentary Tumours (40.1%, N: 4706), Benign Tumours (28%, N: 3256), Cutaneous Carcinomas (16%, N: 1859), Cutaneous Premalign Lesions (3.7%, N: 432), and Dermatosis with Traumatic origen (2.4%, N: 275).
The most frequent histopathologic diagnose was Intradermal Nevus (24.1%, N: 2812), and the second was Compound Melanocytic Nevus (12.1%, N:1406).
