ABSTRACT
Introduction: the concept of precancerosis included the disease processes that after a longer or shorter period could probably become in a malignancy.
Objective: to determine the behavior of some clinical and epidemiological variables in patients with precancerous lesions.
Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study of patients with precancerous dermatoses treated from January 2010 to December 2011 in the Dermatology Consultation of Lucia Iñiguez Landin Surgical Hospital of Holguin was carried out. The universe comprised 3 584 patients referred for consultation from health areas of Holguín province with a clinical diagnosis of precancerous lesions. The sample consisted of 721 patients older than 20 years who gave informed consent; patients with a diagnosis of required precancerosis were excluded. The risk factors studied were sun exposure, smoking, actinic skin, photo aging and associated dermatoses.
Results: the predominant precancerous dermatoses were actinic keratosis (41.7%) and senile atrophy (44.9%). The exposed areas were the most frequent. The most frequent associated diseases were other dermatoses and non-communicable chronic diseases. The outstanding risk factors were sun exposure (70.3%), actinic skin (41.3%) and photo aging (38.6%).
Conclusions: the most common types of skin diseases found were senile atrophy and actinic keratosis as well as the types I and II of the skin, associated with the following risk factors: prolonged sun exposure, actinic skin and photo aging.
