Clinical distribution patterns and histopathological features of 2016 cases of basal cell carcinoma: a retrospective study from Southwest China
BCC predominantly affects older adults, with an increasing incidence in those aged 50-80 years, and shows a striking predilection for sun-exposed midfacial sites. Nodular/ulcerative lesions are the predominant clinical presentation, and nodular cystic type is the most common histological subtype. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment; although recurrences were infrequent, their distribution supports risk-adapted management and long-term follow-up.
