Beschreibungen/Notizen

• On histological analysis, out of 100 malignant skin lesions, 45 (45%) were basal cell carcinoma, 25 (20%) were squamous cell carcinoma, 05were malignant melanoma and 03 were Bowen's disease. In our population, most of the skin malignancies are non melanoma skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma being the leading skin malignancy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma. [...]in another one year study carried out at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi, the findings were corresponding to our study, where basal cell carcinoma was at the top of the list of skin malignancies (48%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (40%)23. Another study from 24 centers in Japan24, it was reported that basal cell carcinoma has the highest incidence and accounts for almost 50% of the skin malignancies, followed by squamous cell carcinoma (31%), however, had a significantly raised frequency of malignant melanoma (21%), which was quite higher as compared to our study. In our population, most of the skin malignancies are non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), basal cell carcinoma being the leading skin malignancy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma.
