Popis: Introduction: Skin cancer is the most common neoplasm in the Brazilian population, corresponding to 30% of all malignant tumors registered in the country. Non-melanoma malignant tumors are the type of cancer with the highest incidence and prevalence in Brazil. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common, accounting for between 70% and 75% of cases. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 20% of cases. The objective is to determine the epidemiological profile, the types and subtypes found in the histopathological results, the surgical conduct and its effectiveness in patients with a suspected malignant skin lesion. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study, based on the analysis of electronic medical records for resection of skin lesions suspected of malignancy, carried out by the Plastic Surgery team at the Regional Hospital of Asa Norte, Brasília/DF, from January 2012 to December 2016. Results: 533 patients were submitted to surgery, being female (51.6%), with a mean age of 68.97 years and 84% diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma with solid subtype. The compromised margins reached 11% of the sample. The most prevalent reconstructions were primary closure and local flaps. Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of patients treated with lesions suspected of skin cancer showed prevalence in women over 60 years with a history of sun exposure. The face was the most affected site, the nose being the most common topography. BCC is the most common type, and the circumscribed solid subtype was the most prevalent. The most used type of reconstruction was primary closure and local flap.
