“…In our study, Most participants were in the age grouped between 65-74 years as the percentage of 58.7%, similar to our study conducted in Turkey, most of the participants' age were between 65-74 years (2). The most common skin conditions in patients aged 65-74 years were benign skin tumors (43.8%), xerosis (39.2%), and eczematous dermatitis (25.6%).…”

“…Furthermore, vesiculobullous diseases were identified in a total of 8 patients (2.7%). The rate of vesiculobullous diseases was reported to be 0.8% in a study involving 2,734 elderly patients (2). The finding of the present study may be caused by relatively small number of patients.…”

“…This was followed by eczemas (42.9%) and benign neoplasms of the skin (41.5%). In a study by Baş et al, eczemas were identified as the most common skin disease in females (2). The rate of only lichen planus was significantly higher in females than in males in the present study (p=0.09; p<0.05).…”

“…Various studies examining skin findings in the elderly have found variable female-to-male ratios. The rate of female-to-male ratio was 0.8 in the study by Baş et al, 0.8 in the study by Yalçın et al and 1.1 in the study by Baykal et al (2,5,14). Of the patients in the present study, 130 (43.3%) were female and 170 were male, with a female-to-male ratio of 0.7.…”

“…The second most common skin finding observed in geriatric patient population in the present study was xerosis with a rate of 45%. Various studies have reported rates ranging from 3.7% to 75% (2,8,19). This difference can be explained by the fact that xerosis is not only related to aging but other factors may also be involved.…”

Aging is an unavoidable process affecting all organ systems including the skin. The elderly population is defined as people aged ≥65 years, and the elderly population is growing worldwide. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of dermatological diseases in the elderly patients aged ≥65 years and evaluate sociodemographic characteristics. The data of 300 geriatric patients aged ≥65 years who were admitted to our clinic between October 2013 and January 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Of these patients, 130 (43.3%) were female and 170 (57.7%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 73.57 ±6.80 years. Eczematous dermatitis was detected in 77 of patients (25.7%). Of these patients, 135 (45%) had xerosis. The most common benign skin tumor was isolated seborrheic keratosis (n=82,58%). Actinic keratosis comprised the majority of malignant and premalignant lesions that occurred in 25 patients (8.3%). Cellulitis was the most common bacterial skin infection that occurred in 21 patients (7%). The rate of lichen planus was 0.6% in males and significantly more common in females with a rate of 3.1% (p=0.09; p<0.05). The rate of xerosis was 39.2% in patients aged 65-74 years, 53% in patients aged 75-84 years, and 54.2% in patients aged ≥85 years. The relationship between age and the rate of xerosis showed a borderline significance (p=0.05; p<0.05). Keeping in mind the most common dermatological problems in geriatric patients would enable early diagnosis of the conditions and selection of appropriate therapies.

Objective: Skin tumours are common tumors and they are mostly benign. Benign skin lesions (BSLs) may be a sign of a syndrome or of a systemic malignant state. Sometimes they can transform into malignant types. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence and the clinico-pathological characteristics of a large series of BSLs which were excised in our clinic. Methods:The patients with skin lesions who underwent a total excisional biopsy in the general surgery clinic between the years 2012 and 2016 were reviewed. Malignant skin lesions were excluded from the study. The BSLs were classified according to the Pathology and Genetics of Skin Tumours of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours. Results: A total of 551 patients with BCL were included in the study. Of the patients, 241 (43.7%) were female and 310 (56.7%) were male. The age range was between 2 and 98 years and the mean age was 39.7. The most common benign skin lesions (n = 184, 33.3%) were appendageal tumors and this finding was statistically significant (p = 0.001). The most common appendageal tumor type (n = 75, 13.6%) was verruca vulgaris. Conclusion: Benign skin lesions are usually seen by family physicians. Some of the BCLs may be confused with malignant skin lesions and may even be associated with systemic malignancies. It is very important that family physicians can recognize benign skin lesions and plan for diagnosis and treatment such as biopsy.
