Keywords:
precancerous dermatoses, cancerous dermatoses, skin cáncerAbstract
Introduction: the frequency of skin lesions in patients admitted to nursing homes is not clarified in Guantanamo.
Objective: to determine the frequency of precancerous and cancerous dermatoses in patients of the “Caridad Jaca”, “Santa Catalina” and “San José” nursing homes of the Guantánamo municipality in the 2016-2017 period.
Method: an observational, prospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with all the elderly (N=318) and in those affected (n=70) the sex, age, cutaneous phototype, type and location of the lesions were specified.
Results: 22.1% of the elderly presented precancerous and cancerous dermatoses. These were more common in men (56.0%), with 70 to 79 years of age (42.8%), skin phototype III (50.0%) and were located on the face (32.8%). Precancerous dermatoses were diagnosed in 84.3% of the patients and the most common was actinic keratosis (78.6%) and cancerous dermatoses in 15.7% of them and the most frequent was basal cell carcinoma (8.6 %).
Conclusions: in the elderly patients who were studied, precancerous and cancerous dermatoses were diagnosed that had not been previously documented, which reveals the importance of actions aimed at screening these skin lesions.
