| Popis: | Introduction: Non-melanoma skin neoplasms are responsible for 30% of all malignant tumors in Brazil. The main objective of this article was to evaluate the epidemiological profile and the approach taken from the histopathological diagnosis of compromised margins in patients with non-melanoma skin neoplasms treated primarily with surgery. Methods: This is an observational retrospective cohort. Data were collected from electronic medical records of 1495 patients, resulting in 2457 non-melanoma skin neoplasms, from January 2015 to December 2019. Results: There was a higher prevalence in men (52.4%) and between the sixth and seventh decades of life (41.4%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most common histological type (75%). Those over the age of 61 are 57.2% more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma (relative risk=1,572 (95% CI: 1,316-1,878; p0.05). Conclusion: The study allowed a better understanding of the profile of patients with non-melanoma skin neoplasms and the percentage of compromised margins after initial surgical excision and the treatment performed. |
