SKIN TUMORS
EPITHELIOMA
Depending on the cells from which they originate, we can distinguish different skin tumors, with a varied course depending on the histological type.
A dermatologist can guide the patient for diagnose and screen.
Often the patient is referred to the plastic surgeon for the excision of the lesion and the reconstruction of the defect. The surgeon will remove the tumor, respecting oncological safety but also preserving the cosmetic integrity of the area and minimizing the scars.
MELANOMA
Surely the most aggressive form of skin cancer is the Melanoma.
For this skin tumor, prevention and screening become a fundamental tool.
Periodic checks with a dermatologist, mole mapping and protection from sunlight are among the precautions that can be used to prevent the disease.
If you notice a change in shape, volume, size, color and if these changes occur in a short time, it is advisable to be seen by a specialist to evaluate the problem.
The plastic surgeon can help you treat this disease and guide you in this treatment.
