The skin is the organ most commonly affected by malignancies. Various cancers of the skin show a dramatic increase in incidence over the last decades. Epithelial skin tumors are most frequently, e.g., basal cell carcinoma and the squamous cell carcinoma with its precursors, the actinic keratoses. Melanoma, which is extremely difficult to treat in advanced tumor stages, is dreaded. Besides that, there are other epithelial malignant diseases, e.g. Morbus Bowen and adnexal tumors originating from the skin appendices. Mesenchymal malignant neoplasias such as Morbus Kaposi, angiosarcomas and other dermal sarcomas, are rare. Since the majority of malignant neoplasms is removable and curable by a simple surgical intervention, the knowledge of the different skin tumors is essential for non-dermatologist.
皮肤是最常受恶性肿瘤影响的器官。在过去几十年中，各种皮肤癌的发病率急剧上升。上皮性皮肤肿瘤最为常见，例如基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞癌及其前驱病变光化性角化病。黑色素瘤在肿瘤晚期极难治疗，令人恐惧。除此之外，还有其他上皮性恶性疾病，例如鲍温病和源自皮肤附属器的附属器肿瘤。间质性恶性肿瘤，如卡波西肉瘤、血管肉瘤和其他真皮肉瘤则较为罕见。由于大多数恶性肿瘤可通过简单的手术切除并治愈，因此对于非皮肤科医生来说，了解不同的皮肤肿瘤至关重要。
