THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE APPEARANCE OF NON-MELANOCYTIC SKIN TUMORS AND EXPOSURE TO UV RADIATION

Introduction. In the last 30 years, the incidence of non-melanocytic skin tumors (NMRTs) has increased alarmingly. The most common subtype of TCNM is basal cell carcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Material and method. This retrospective study was performed on a group of 140 patients. Pati...

Summary:Introduction. In the last 30 years, the incidence of non-melanocytic skin tumors (NMRTs) has increased alarmingly. The most common subtype of TCNM is basal cell carcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Material and method. This retrospective study was performed on a group of 140 patients. Patients diagnosed with C44 nonmelanocytic malignancy according to ICD-10 were included in the study. Results. Of the 140 patients, 118 (84%) received the presumptive diagnosis of CBC and 17 (12%) the diagnosis of CSC. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of CBC in 76% of cases and that of CSC in 58% of cases. Regarding the number of lesions, cases with a single lesion predominate (94%). In terms of clinical form, the most common type of basal cell carcinoma in the study group was 75% nodular carcinoma. Conclusions. There is a need for more studies for the application of prevention and proper management from the family doctor to the specialist.
