Skin cancers are increasing, with epithelial tumors like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma being most common. Early detection and knowledge of various skin malignancies are crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • The skin is the most frequently impacted organ by malignancies.
  • Skin cancer incidence has significantly increased in recent decades.
  • Understanding diverse skin tumors is vital for non-dermatologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of common and rare skin malignancies.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing different types of skin tumors.
  • To highlight the curability of most skin neoplasms with surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common epithelial skin tumors (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, actinic keratoses, melanoma, Morbus Bowen, adnexal tumors).
  • Inclusion of rare mesenchymal malignant neoplasms (Morbus Kaposi, angiosarcomas, dermal sarcomas).

  • Emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic relevance for non-specialists.

    • Main Results:

    • Epithelial skin tumors, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are the most frequent.
    • Melanoma poses significant treatment challenges in advanced stages.
    • Mesenchymal tumors of the skin are comparatively rare.

    Conclusions:

    • The rising incidence of skin cancers necessitates broad medical awareness.
    • Surgical intervention remains a primary and effective treatment for most malignant skin neoplasms.
    • Knowledge of various skin tumors is essential for timely diagnosis and management by all clinicians.
