Skin neoplasms include both benign formations – such as moles, fibroids, lipomas and papillomas – as well as potentially risky lesions that require careful medical evaluation. They can be congenital or acquired and, depending on their type, location and dynamics, create an aesthetic, functional or health problem.
Various skin neoplasms are subject to surgical removal, most often pigmented nevi (moles) located on open areas of the face and body. Some of them may carry an increased risk of transformation into malignant skin tumors, which is why timely diagnosis and treatment are essential.
