Skin Tumors


What Are Skin Tumors and Why Should They Be Treated by a Plastic Surgeon?

Changes in the skin that tend to grow are, by definition, tumors.
Whether they are benign or malignant depends on their cellular structure.
Benign findings include warts, moles, or nevi, while malignant changes include white skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma) and black skin cancer (melanoma).

Skin changes affect everyone at some point, as the skin is the first line of defense against environmental influences.
When such a lesion occurs on the face, its removal must be carefully planned to achieve the best possible cosmetic and functional result.
A simple direct closure may seem easiest but often leads to asymmetries and impaired function, such as problems with eyelid closure.
