Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer worldwide and represents 75% of non-melanoma skin cancer. It is destructive, but slow growing and if not treated in time can cause damage to functionality and aesthetics, which is why it is important to be diagnosed and treated early. The objective of the research was to determine the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics of basal cell carcinoma at Hospital II-2 Tarapoto, period from January to December 2019. The study was non-experimental, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional with 53 patients with histopathological diagnosis of BCC. The technique used was the data collection guide and the instrument was a data collection form validated by experts. Results: Sixty-five BCC tumor lesions were identified in 53 patients. The 50.9 % of patients were female. The average age was 72.3 years being more frequent in older adults (69.8%). The 62.3% resided in the urban area. The 43.4% of patients came from the province of San Martín. Regarding the clinical characteristics, the time of disease ranged from 2 to 48 months and the mean was 17.5 months. The 83.0% of the patients presented a single lesion. Regarding the anatomical location of the lesion, 95.4% was on the head and within this 36.9% was located on the nose. The diameter of the lesion ranged from 3 to 40 mm and the mean was 12.0 mm. Nodular lesions accounted for 86.2% and nodular-ulcerated lesions accounted for 61.5% of the total number of lesions. The 63.1% were asymptomatic lesions, 24.6% presented bleeding, 10.8% presented pruritus and 1.5% were painful. Of the lesions, 63.1% did not receive any treatment prior to dermatologic consultation. Of the lesions, 89.2% were primary and 10.8% corresponded to recurrent lesions. Histopathologically, the most frequent subtype was nodular (56.9%), followed by the mixed subtype (12.3%) and, in third place, the superficial subtype (6.2%). Conclusions: There was no significant difference in relation to sex, the most frequent age of presentation was in older adults from urban areas. The most frequent clinical type was nodular. The most frequent location was in photoexposed areas, predominantly in the nose. Most lesions were single, non-relapsing, with a disease time greater than 12 months and no accompanying symptoms, half of the lesions had a diameter greater than 10 mm. The nodular histopathologic subtype predominated, followed by the mixed subtype.
