“…Superficial BCC were more often found in males and preferentially developed on the cheek localization while other types preferring the nose. As in our study it was reported that nose is the most involved area with facial BCC [17]. The micronodular, nodular and superficial BCC occurred more often in males and solid and infiltrative types are more often in females.…”

“…Large studies dealing with the demographic characteristics of the histological subtypes were published only after 1995 [1,4,14]. Based on the eight largest studies previously published in the literature [1,4,5,8,[14][15][16][17], nodular BCCs comprised between 62% and 70% of all BCCs, except in the series from New Zealand, [16] in which the nodular type accounted for only 47% of all BCCs. Superficial BCCs comprised 9-17.5% and morpheaform BCCs 0.5-16.6% of carcinomas in those series.…”

“…Superficial BCC occur predominantly on the trunk. Because the trunk is not continuously exposed to sunlight, intermittent sun exposure may be especially important in the etiology of superficial BCC [5,8,[15][16][17]. On the other hand, nodular BCC most frequently occur in the head/ neck region, and occur more often in men on the ears and scalp, sites that are often not covered by hair.…”

Background/Objective: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of cancer in Caucasians. The most common type of BCC is the nodular form. This study was undertaken to analyze the all histopathological subtypes and tumor diameter with epidermal ulceration of head and neck localized BCC with regard to sex, age and anatomical distribution in a population from the Mid-Anatolian Region of Turkey.Methods: Ninety-five patients histopathologically diagnosed with BCC of head and neck at our dermatology and pathology clinics were retrospectively examined and assessed. The diagnosis and subtypes with the tumor diameter and epidermal ulceration were confirmed by two pathologists. Gender, age at excision and location were recorded. Results:The mean age at excision of a BCC was 69.98 ± 13.07 years. The nodular BCC was the most frequent type (23.2%), followed by the superficial and micronodular types (22.1%). The micronodular, nodular and superficial BCC occurred more often in males and solid and infiltrative types more often in females. Almost all types showed slight predominance for nose localization. The superficial form was the dominant type on the cheek. The mean tumor diameter is 8.94 mm with the range of 0.5-38 mm. There was a statistically significant difference between the micronodular with the smaller diameter of 5.25 mm and the other types of BCC diameter. Epidermal ulceration was observed in most of the patients (77.9%) and there was not any significant difference among the types of BCC. Conclusion:Our results confirmed the outcomes of the previous reports in the literature. We found that the superficial type of BCC of the head and neck region most commonly occurred on the cheek.

“…12 There were only a few studies with more female than male patients. 13 It has been suggested that one reason might be that men are more often exposed to sunlight 14 and that they do not protect themselves by using sunscreen regularly. 15 Furthermore, women often wear makeup with sun protection factor.…”

Histopathological and patient-related characteristics of basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck influencing therapeutic management

et al. 2018

The authors hypothesize that histopathological characteristics of basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck (BCCHN) have changed over time and the correlation of BCCHN localization and histological tumour type can help improving the number and quality of necessary therapeutic interventions. Information of 222 patients with 344 BCCHN was gained. Descriptive measures were compared to prior studies to prove whether or not characteristics of basal cell carcinomas or patients have changed over time. Afterwards descriptive measures were correlated with number of conducted operations to evaluate if tumour localization, histological tumour type and number of operations depend on one another. Aggravating factors which lead to a higher number of operations were older age, greater size of BCCHN, adjacent elastosis, the localizations eye, ear and nose and histological tumour types morpheaform and nodularulcerated. In comparison to earlier studies characteristics of BCCHN and patients showed positive developments because of grown awareness of BCCHN. Furthermore, our correlations demonstrate that therapeutic results of BCCHN treatment are continuously improving. Nevertheless, treatment of aggressive morpheaform BCCHN in combination with distinctive patient characteristics still needs improvement.

Introdução: O carcinoma basocelular (CBC) é a neoplasia maligna cutânea mais frequente em humanos, e sua incidência vem aumentando nos últimos anos. Sabe-se que o CBC é mais comum na faixa etária entre 50 e 80 anos. No entanto, esse perfil de idade vem se modificando com a constante exposição recreativa desprotegida aos raios solares, modificações da camada de ozônio, herança étnica e tipo de pele mais suscetíveis podem contribuir para esse aumento dos casos. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a frequência do carcinoma basocelular em população com menos de 50 anos de idade. Materiais sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo foram selecionados artigos publicados nas bases de dados PubMED, SciELO e Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia entre 2008 a 2023. Resultados e Discussão: O CBC tem origem nas células basais da epiderme, correspondendo a cerca de 80% dos casos de câncer de pele. Apresenta baixa agressividade e bom prognóstico, mas com comportamento invasivo no sítio da lesão. Em geral, ocorre em áreas mais expostas ao sol ao longo da vida, como a face e o pescoço. Considerações finais: Embora o CBC aumente significativamente com a idade, nota-se aumento da incidência entre a população mais jovem, sendo resultado de uma maior exposição UV ao sol ou fontes artificiais. Desse modo, o aumento no número de casos deste câncer na população mais jovem pode significar um crescimento exponencial no futuro pela ocorrência de recidiva.
