Abstract

Background: Dermoscopy enhances detection of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), especially for the pigmented subtype common among Asians. However, there is limited data on dermoscopic features of BCC in Filipinos.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe the clinicopathologic profile and dermoscopic features of BCC in Filipinos seen in a tertiary care clinic.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Philippines from November 2019 to December 2021 in a tertiary care clinic. Fifty-three (53) lesions suspicious for BCC were analyzed using dermoscopy prior to histologic confirmation. Fifty (50) biopsy-proven BCC lesions were included in the analysis.

Results: Lesions were more commonly seen in females (72.50%), and located on the head and neck (88%). The most common histopathologic subtype was nodular (74%). The most common dermoscopic features were large blue-gray ovoid nests (86%) and ulcerations (70%).

Conclusion: The most common BCC type among the study participants was nodular, with large blue-gray ovoid nests and ulceration seen on dermoscopy.

在一家三级医疗诊所就诊的菲律宾基底细胞癌患者的临床人口学和皮肤镜特征。

背景：皮肤镜可提高基底细胞癌（BCC）的检测率，尤其是对亚洲人常见的色素亚型基底细胞癌的检测率。然而，有关菲律宾人 BCC 皮肤镜特征的数据却很有限：本研究旨在描述在一家三级医疗诊所就诊的菲律宾人中 BCC 的临床病理学特征和皮肤镜特征：2019年11月至2021年12月，在菲律宾的一家三级医疗诊所开展了一项横断面研究。在进行组织学确认之前，使用皮肤镜对 53 例疑似 BCC 的病变进行了分析。50例经活检证实的BCC病变被纳入分析：皮损多见于女性（72.50%），位于头颈部（88%）。最常见的组织病理学亚型是结节型（74%）。最常见的皮肤镜特征是大的蓝灰色卵圆形巢（86%）和溃疡（70%）：结论：研究参与者中最常见的 BCC 类型是结节型，皮肤镜检查可见大的蓝灰色卵圆形巢和溃疡。
