Abstract

Introduction: The basaloma also known as basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent case of skin cancer. It can be seen mostly in face, nose and forehead.

Objective: To identify the clinical and histopathological characteristics of basal cell carcinoma in patients who underwent surgery at the Maxillo Facial Service of the Celia Sánchez Manduley University Hospital in Manzanillo, during the period from September to December 2016.

Methodological Design: It was carried out a descriptive and observant study to identify the clinical and histopathological characteristics of the basal cell carcinoma in patients that were treated in the Maxillofacial Service of the Clinical-Surgical Hospital ´´ Celia Sánchez Manduley´´, between the months of September and December of 2016. The sample had 60 patients.

Results: The basal cell carcinoma predominated in males (55%) mostly between the ages of 60 and 80 years (68,67%). This disease was most frequently presented in white people (75%); located mainly in the cheeks (43%), with a size between one and two centimeters. These lesions presented a low diagnosis error with only a two percentage.

Conclusions: The research reveal a high frequency of this disease in elderly people mostly men, with a bigger tendency to be located in the facial regions sun exposed. It was also confirmed that these lesions were detected and treated in early stages. Their diagnosis and treatment are performed with a small margin of error.
