This review covers head and neck lesions, detailing benign conditions like nevus sebaceus and malignant tumors such as basal cell carcinoma. Surgical excision is the primary treatment for these conditions, with local flaps used for reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Head and neck lesions encompass a range of benign and malignant conditions.
  • Early identification and appropriate management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical characteristics, histology, biologic behavior, and treatment of benign and malignant head and neck lesions.
  • To highlight surgical excision as a primary treatment modality.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of benign and malignant head and neck lesions.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, histology, and behavior.
  • Evaluation of recommended treatment strategies, including surgical excision and reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Benign lesions like nevus sebaceus and congenital melanocytic nevus require monitoring and potential excision for cosmetic reasons or to mitigate malignancy risk.

  • Malignant lesions including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna melanoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and Merkel cell carcinoma necessitate surgical excision.
  • Local flap reconstruction is a viable option for addressing post-excision defects.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are key for managing head and neck lesions.
    • Surgical excision followed by reconstruction offers effective treatment for both benign and malignant conditions of the head and neck.
