Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) has been increasing, but no analysis of the causative diseases of cutaneous SCC has been performed. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causative disease of SCC. METHODS: Eighty-seven patients with cutaneous SCC were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: The possible causative diseases of cutaneous SCC were actinic keratosis(18 csaes), Bowen's disease(17 cases), actinic cheilitis(8 cases), burn scar(4 cases), arsenical keratosis(3 cases), xeroderma pigmentosum(3 cases), chronic discoid lupus erythematosus(2 cases), epidermodysplasia verruciformis(2 cases), leukoplakia(1 case), chronic radiodermatitis(1 cases), erythroplasia of Queyrat (1 case), osteomyelitis sinus(1 case), lichen planus(1 case), porokeratosis of Mibelli(1 case), and the other 21 cases were of unknown origin. CONCLUSION: The causative diseases of cutaneous SCC were related to sun-exposure, and chronic dermatoses.
