Number of patients in 2010 was 2.5 times higher than that in Male/ female ratio was 1, % of patients are over 60 years old and 61 % of them lives in rural areas. Conclusion: The number of patients with skin cancers at the National Hospital of Dermatology was increased in recent years. The basal cell carcinoma was the most common skin cancer. Most of patients are over 60 years old and lives in rural area. The pathology was more frequent in female
Key words: Skin cancer,basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma .
