[About 500 carcinomas of the skin of the face (author's transl)].

After having studied etiological and histological cases of 500 malignant growth of the face's skin the authors think that: -- carcinomas of lips and ears are chiefly men's cancers and above all squamous cell-tumors. Ear-tumors beeing serious. For the other parts of the face, cancers are more frequently met in females than in males. Squamous cell-tumors are perhaps more frequent than usually said; -- as for treatment the authors had rather use surgery with immediate plastic reconstruction.
