Introduction
Skin tumours are relatively common. A great majority of skin tumours rarely attract attention of patients
or physicians. Genetic and environmental factors are known to play an important
role in most tumours. The prevalence of tumours like actinic keratoses, and malignant
melanomas is less in dark skin. Confirmation of diagnosis is by biopsy and immunohistochemistry.
Classification
Skin tumours are broadly classified as benign, premalignant and malignant.
Other classification is based on their origin: • Epidermal• Appendageal – Pilar (hair), sebaceous and sweat gland• Melanocytic• Mesodermal origin (vascular and connective tissue)
Tumors arising from epidermis

Benign Tumours
Seborrheic keratoses
A common, benign tumor. Common >30 years of age Develops on sun damaged skin It is a brownish to black papule,
plaque or nodule on skin with sharp border ‘stuck on appearance .‘
Seborrheic keratosis
Dermatosis papulosa nigra: Variant of seborrheic keratosis Pigmented round smooth papule. Common in black Occurs >40 years of age Common sites are face and
trunck
Seborrheic keratosis
Stucco keratoses Common in elderly individual. Mostly occurs at ankle. It is a white papule with rough surface. Easily lifted off without bleeding. Diagnosis is mostly clinical.
Treatment
Counseling about photo protection. Change of life style (avoid undue sun exposure). Topical 5- flurouracil (5%) cream and Imiquimod (5%) cream. Oral Isotretinoin. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen or CO2 snow for extensive area. Electrodesiccation and curettage. Photodynamic therapy. CO2, Er:YAG lasers, dermabrasion.
Sebaceous Cyst
Characterized by cystic swelling with central punctum. Cyst is filled with Keratin. Originates from hair follicle. Usually asymptomatic. Becomes tender or painful on infection. Treatment is surgical excision along with cystic wall.
Sebaceous Cyst
Steatocystoma multiplex
An benign, epidermal polycystic disease. A autosomal dominant inheritance. The defect is in Keratin 17 Characterized by subcutaneous cystic swelling, smooth papule or nodular
looking lesion an midline of face. On puncturing it give oily discharge.
Treatment : Incision & drainage, Aspiration.
Steatocystoma multiplex
Keratoacanthoma
A low-grade skin tumor of hair follicle. Arise from the neck of hair follicle. Characterized by dome-shaped, smooth wall inflamed skin lesion
with centre capped by keratinous scales and debris. Common on sun-exposed skin. Microscopically it resembles squamous cell carcinoma.
Treatment
Intralesional injection of methotrexate or 5-fluorouracil. Excision. Mohs surgery. Electrodessication. Curettage . Cryosurgery . Radiotherapy.
Syringomas
Sweat duct tumors. Typically found in clustered on
eyelids, rarely on other sites. Skin-colored or yellowish firm
round papule, flat top and polygonal.
Asymptomatic.
Treatment : Retinoids Electrocautery Erbium or carbon dioxide lasers.
Cylindroma
An autosomal dominantly inherited condition. Known a turban tumor . Malignant transformation of cylindroma is very rare. Commonly occurs on head and neck. Characterized by dome shaped smooth shiny nodules with
telangiectasia on the surface.
Treatment : Wide excision.
Acrochordons (skin tags)
Benign pedunculated overgrowth on skin Occurs on skin folds(neck, axilla and groin) Common in obese
Treatment : Scissors excision with/ without local anesthesia Electrocautery or cryosurgery
Acrocohordon
Keloid
Hereditary predilection to develop keloid. Aautosomal dominant and recessive factors are responsible. Characterized by overgrowth of fibrous tissue at the site of injury. May extend to surrounding skin beyond the site of injury. Frequently occurs on chest, upper back and extremities.
Keloid on the chest
Hemangioma
Benign tumours of blood vessel.
Occurs in1-3% of newborns and about 10% upto 1 year.
Characterized by raised erythematous macule or plaque.
Occurs due to endothelial cell hyperplasia.
Extensive cutaneous hemangiomas is associated with visceral involvement
Common type are strawberry hemangiomas.
Treatment : Oral corticosteroid , beta-blocker propranolol, topically beta
blocker Timolol, rarely interferon or vincristine.
Injection of sclerosing agents.
Hemangioma
Angiokeratoma
A benign cutaneous lesion of capillaries. Characterized as small red to blue color lesion with and
hyperkeratosis. Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum refers to Fabry's disease (a distinct
condition). The lesions occasionally bleed.
Treatment : Lasers. Surgical removal
Treatment
Massage. Pressure bandage or garments. Silicone elastomer pads. Intralesional Triamcinolone acetonide injection at 3-6 weeks. Intralesional Triamcinolone acetonide injection + Hyaluronidase
and/or 5-Flurouracil. Surgical excision followed by Intra-lesional injections. Intralesional bleomycin. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen + Intralesional injections. Lasers : CO2 and Nd Yag.
Neurofibroma
Autosomal dominant inherited condition. Known as von Recklinghausen’s disease. Neurofibromas are characterized by skin colored, soft, sessile or
pedunculated papules or nodules. Plexiform neurofibromas occur along the course of nerves as
irregular masses. Button-hole sign is positive (tumor can be compressed into skin
easily). Often it is associated with
cafe au lait spots, freckle like lesion and low intelligence.
Treatment
Genetic counseling. Counseling regarding course of disease. Treatment is mostly symptomatic.
Premalignant Tumours
Actinic keratoses
Premalignant condition. Common above middle age and elderly. Cumulative sun exposure on fair skin (type I and II). Characterized by papule or plaque with rough surface. Its better felt than seen (rough to feel). May develop cutaneous horn or become malignant. 10-20% of lesions progress to squamous cell carcinoma. Diagnosis is clinical & biopsy.
Treatment
Avoidance of undue sun exposure. Protective clothing, Use of sunscreen. Topical keratolytic agent. Oral Isotretinion. Curettage Electrodessication Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen Shaving Chemical peeling with Trichloroacetic acid(TCA)
Cutaneous Horn
Hard, yellowish brown, horny outgrowth, often curved with circumferential ridges.
Surrounded by acanthotic collarette.
Inflammation and induration beneath indicates malignant change.
Seen on exposed areas specially upper part of face and ears.
Bowen's disease
A squamous cell carcinoma in situ. An early stage intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma. Common above 60 years. Common at genitalia. Typically presents as a gradually enlarging, well-demarcated
erythematous plaque with irregular border, crusted or scaling surface.
Bowen's disease
Treatment
Photodynamic therapy Cryotherapy. Topical 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod. Excision.
Malignant Tumours
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Malignancy arising from keratinocytes. It spreads by invasion and metastasis. Commonest site head and neck (mucosa & mucocutaneous junction).
Predisposing factors : Skin types I - III, UV radiation, exposure to arsenic and hydrocarbon,
chronic inflammation, irritation, smoking and chewing tobacco.
Characterized by : Plaques, ulceration, Verrucous lesions. May arise denovo or on a premalignant lesion Enlarged lymph regional node.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Treatment
Wide local excision with histologic confirmation of margins. Mohs’ micrographic surgery. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy for metasis.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Synonym : Basalioma, Rodent ulcer Most common cutaneous malignancy Occurs from the basal cells of skin Common on sun damaged skin Locally invasive, slow growing and rarely metastasizes Occurs on sun damaged skin, age > 40 years
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Characterized by : Skin to pink colored dome-shaped lesion with visible blood vessels. Grows slowly , centre flattens, can ooze and crust. Rolled out margin, beaded edges with telangiectaisa. Locally invasive.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Treatment : Excision Curettage Electrodessication Mohs surgery Cryosurgery Photodynamic therapy Topical 5FU.
Paget's disease
Paget’s disease is a common adenocarcinoma of mammary gland. Extramammary Paget’s disease is a rare (common at vulva and
penis). It is slow-growing, noninvasive intraepithelial adenocarcinoma. Symptoms are non specific localized itching, burning and sore with
local destruction.
Treatment : Surgical excision.
Malignant melanoma
Malignancy of melanocytes. Common in skin (Type I & II). Personal / family history of atypical nevi or melanoma is common. Sun exposure increases the risk. 30% arise from pre-existing nevi whereas 70% arise de novo.
Suspicion : Irregularly pigmented macule or plaque → change in color, shape
and size. Nodular variant → dermal involvement → high risk of metastasis →
poor prognosis.
Malignant melanoma
Clinical course
ABCDE of melanoma : Asymmetry Border irregularity Color variability Diameter > 1 cm Evolutionary change
Treatment : Complete excision with free margin of at least 1cm. Lymph node resection. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Cutaneous T cell lymphoma
It is a class of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. CTCL is caused by a mutation of T cells. The malignant T cells initially migrate to the skin, causing
various lesions. They appears as rash, macule, plaque, tumor and rarely ulcerated
lesion and metastize.
Cutaneous T cell lymphoma
Treatment
Topical and oral corticosteroids, Bexarotene Phototherapy & Photochemotherapy. Local and total skin electron beam therapy (TSET) Conventional Radiation Therapy Photopheresis Interferon. Methotrexate. Cyclophosphamide
