Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to study the histopathological patterns of skin lesions in persons with albinism (PWA) in Togo in 2019.

Method: During two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, biopsies/excisional biopsies were performed in PWA in case of clinical doubt or in front of lesions suspected to be cancerous for histological examination. Anatomopathological reports were thus analysed.

Results: During the two mobile skin care clinics, 115 biopsies/excisional biopsies were carried out in 79 PWA, with a mean age of 24 ± 16.1 years. Histological examination led to a diagnosis in 110 cases (95.6%) and was inconclusive in 5 cases (4 cases of uncertain histological diagnosis and one case of nonspecific histological lesions). Fourteen different histological diagnoses were made, with a frequency ranging from 0.9% (one case) to 26.9% (31 cases). The four most frequent diagnoses in descending order were basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) (31 cases; 26.9%), invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) or Bowen's disease (23 cases; 20%), keratosis (20 cases; 17.3%), and cysts (seven cases; 6.1%). The 54 skin carcinomas were diagnosed in 33 (41.8%) of the 79 patients who underwent skin biopsies/excisional biopsies. The BCC/SCC ratio was 1.3. No cases of cutaneous melanoma had been diagnosed.

Conclusion: Skin cancers represent the main histological diagnosis in PWA (46.9%) in Togo in 2019. The pattern of cutaneous malignancies in PWA shows the same trend as that seen in Caucasians with a predominance of basal cell carcinomas.

2019年多哥皮肤白化病患者皮肤病变的组织病理学研究

目的:本研究的目的是研究2019年多哥白化病(PWA)患者皮肤病变的组织病理学模式。方法:2019年2个流动皮肤护理诊所，在临床疑点或疑似癌变病灶前行PWA活检/切除活检，进行组织学检查。解剖病理报告因此被分析。结果:在两个流动皮肤护理诊所中，79例PWA共进行活检/切除活检115例，平均年龄24±16.1岁。组织学诊断110例(95.6%)，不确定5例(组织学诊断不确定4例，非特异性组织学病变1例)。14种不同的组织学诊断，频率从0.9%(1例)到26.9%(31例)不等。最常见的4种诊断依次为基底细胞癌(基底细胞癌)(31例;26.9%)，浸润性鳞状细胞癌(SCCs)或Bowen病(23例;20%)，角化病(20例;17.3%)，囊肿(7例;6.1%)。79例接受皮肤活检/切除活检的患者中，有33例(41.8%)被诊断为54例皮肤癌。BCC/SCC比值为1.3。未发现皮肤黑色素瘤病例。结论:2019年多哥地区PWA的主要组织学诊断为皮肤癌(46.9%)。PWA皮肤恶性肿瘤的模式与高加索人的趋势相同，以基底细胞癌为主。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
