Skin tumor
Skin tumor
Skin tumors are proliferative diseases of the skin cells, including those originating in the skin and metastatic skin tumors. Clinically, they are divided into two types: benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors: Generally, they only present with skin manifestations, do not metastasize, and are not life-threatening. Common examples include seborrheic keratosis, moles, and hemangiomas. They often occur in sun-exposed areas, such as the face, neck, and trunk skin, and are mostly round or oval in shape, generally without subjective discomfort. Malignant tumors: Also known as skin cancer. They can continuously proliferate, cause metastasis, and even be life-threatening. Common examples include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, Paget's disease, malignant melanoma, and some cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (the most common being mycosis fungoides). They are mainly characterized by abnormal proliferation or ulceration. In the early stages, there may be no subjective symptoms. After ulceration or metastasis occurs, pain or symptoms in the corresponding area may be present.
