“…The incidence of SCC was statistically significantly higher compared to our general population (20.5% vs. 10.9%; p = 0.0002) [4]. These observations confirm literature data that SCC is more often seen in elderly patients [8]. This could be explained by frequent presence of actinic keratosis in these patients.…”

“…Due to increased morbidity and advanced stages of tumors, elderly patients will have to undergo surgical treatment more frequently. The number of patients operated on in the authors' hospital (254) during nearly 5 years was higher than in the material of Taniguchi et al [8] during 20 years.…”

“…In a Tunisian study the BCC/SCC ratio was almost 3, but the analysis was based on patients over 65 years old [12]. Taniguchi et al [8] in a Japanese population observed SCC the most frequently (68%). These differences are caused by more frequent appearance of SCC in the Asian population and the age of studied cases.…”

A b s t r a c t I In nt tr ro od du uc ct ti io on n: : The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and melanoma is increasing rapidly in the European population. There are only a few reports about cutaneous malignancy in the elderly population. A Ai im m: : Epidemiological, clinical, histopathological and surgical treatment result analysis of skin cancers in patients over 75 years old. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d m me et th ho od ds s: : A group of 254 patients over 75 years old operated on during 2002-2006 in the Department of Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology of the Medical University of Gdansk was included in the study. Sex ratio F/M was 1.2. The average age was 81.1 years old. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Patients over 75 years old comprised 40% of all operated patients because of malignancy in the analyzed period. Non-melanoma skin cancer were diagnosed in 92.5% of cases, melanoma in 5.9%. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was the most common malignancy, diagnosed in 72% of the patients. The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was statistically significantly higher compared to the general population (20.5% vs. 10.9%; p = 0.0002). BCC/SCC ratio was 3.5. In 39 patients (16.6%) multiple NMSC were observed. Exposure to UV radiation was the most common (52%) risk factor of cutaneous malignancy. The local recurrence rate of NMSC was 5.51%. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on ns s: : The incidence of skin cancers in the northern Polish population over 75 years old is increasing. The clinical and histopathological profile of skin cancer in the elderly differs from the general population. Surgical treatment is safe and effective management in these cases.K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : skin malignancy, advanced aged patients, surgical treatment.

“…The basal cell carcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma ratio was 1.8, whereas MacFarlane et al 4 found 3.2. Taniguchi et al 8 found that 68% of their lesions were squamous cell carcinomas, whereas only 16% were basal cell carcinomas, with a basal cell carcinoma‐to‐squamous cell carcinoma ratio of 0.24, which is a different proportion. These difference may be due to Taniguchi et al having studied Japanese patients because it is well‐known that basal cell carcinoma is less common in Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian races 9 …”

“…The proportion of elderly people is rising rapidly in Japan as well as in Europe and the USA 6 . Consequently, the number of very elderly patients, aged 90 years or older, with skin cancers has been increasing in Japan 7 . The average age of patients with skin cancers hospitalized in our department was 76.3 years (range, 38–101 years) in 2006.…”

Pigmented squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. We report a case of pigmented squamous cell carcinoma with dermoscopic examination probably arisen from actinic keratosis in a 101-year-old woman who was surgically treated under general anesthesia. In addition, we discuss indications of general anesthesia in elderly patients with skin cancer, differential diagnosis and dermoscopic features of pigmented squamous cell carcinoma.
