Significance of Dermoscopy in Association with Clinical Features in Differentiation of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Benign Trichoblastic Tumours
Abstrakt
Background: Although basal cell carcinoma (BCC) can, in the majority of cases, be diagnosed based on clinical and dermoscopic assessment, a potential overlap with benign adnexal skin tumours seems to exist, including trichoblastic tumours (TT). Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical and dermoscopic features of benign TT and BCC cases was performed to develop a diagnostic algorithm with a potential utility in clinical practice. Results: In the study, 502 histopathologically confirmed BCC cases were compared with 61 TT (including 44 TB (72.13%), 10 TE (16.39%) and 7 DTE (11.48%]). Patients in the BCC group were statistically older (mean age was 71.4 vs. 64.4 years, respectively; p = 0.009). BCC presented generally as larger tumours (mean tumour size 11.0 vs. 8.2 mm for the TT group; p = 0.001) and was more frequently associated with clinically visible ulceration (59.4% vs. 19.7%, respectively; p < 0.001). Comparison of lesion morphology, clinically visible pigmentation, and anatomical location did not show significant differences between the analysed groups. Dermoscopically visible ulceration was significantly more common in the BCC group compared to the TT group (52.2% vs. 14.8%; p < 0.0001). Pigmented structures, specifically brown dots and brown globules, were significantly more prevalent in the TT group (32.8% vs. 11.4%; p = 0.0001 and 29.5% vs. 8.2%; p <0.0001). Similarly, TT more commonly than BCC showed the presence of cloudy/starry milia-like cysts (26.2% vs. 11.6%; p = 0.0031) and yellow globules (16.4% vs. 7.2%; p = 0.033). Conclusions: Despite differences in frequency of clinical and dermoscopic features between BCC and TT in the studied group, differential diagnosis based on these variables is not reliable. Histopathological examination remains a diagnostic gold standard in differentiation of BCC and TT.
