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.
