The aim of this study was to study the histopathological patterns of skin lesions in persons with albinism (PWA) in Togo in 2019. <jats:italic>Method<\/jats:italic>. During two mobile skin care clinics in 2019, biopsies\/excisional biopsies were performed in PWA in case of clinical doubt or in front of lesions suspected to be cancerous for histological examination. Anatomopathological reports were thus analysed. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. During the two mobile skin care clinics, 115 biopsies\/excisional biopsies were carried out in 79 PWA, with a mean age of 24\u2009\u00b1\u200916.1 years. Histological examination led to a diagnosis in 110 cases (95.6%) and was inconclusive in 5 cases (4 cases of uncertain histological diagnosis and one case of nonspecific histological lesions). Fourteen different histological diagnoses were made, with a frequency ranging from 0.9% (one case) to 26.9% (31 cases). The four most frequent diagnoses in descending order were basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) (31 cases; 26.9%), invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) or Bowen\u2019s disease (23 cases; 20%), keratosis (20 cases; 17.3%), and cysts (seven cases; 6.1%). The 54 skin carcinomas were diagnosed in 33 (41.8%) of the 79 patients who underwent skin biopsies\/excisional biopsies. The BCC\/SCC ratio was 1.3. No cases of cutaneous melanoma had been diagnosed. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Skin cancers represent the main histological diagnosis in PWA (46.9%) in Togo in 2019. The pattern of cutaneous malignancies in PWA shows the same trend as that seen in Caucasians with a predominance of basal cell carcinomas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/2361957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,29]],"date-time":"2020-07-29T23:34:18Z","timestamp":1596065658000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A
