# Clinical, Dermoscopic and Histopathological Features of Non-melanoma Skin Cancers in People With Skin of Colour: A Series of Five Cases

## TL;DR

This paper presents five cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in individuals with skin of color, highlighting clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting NMSC cases in people with skin of color, a less commonly studied population.

## Key findings

- Non-melanoma skin cancers were identified in individuals with skin of color.
- Clinical and dermoscopic features were analyzed alongside histopathological confirmation.
- The study emphasizes the importance of recognizing NMSC in diverse populations.

## Abstract

Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) as well as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the two most common skin malignancies globally. They are observed more frequently among Caucasians than Asians, and their incidence is inversely proportional to the pigmentation levels. Even though the occurrence of skin cancers in India is lower, the absolute quantity of cases may be considerable due to the vast population. Here, we report five cases of NMSC in people having skin of colour.
