Introduction
Skin tumor excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove abnormal skin growths for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Skin tumors may be benign, premalignant, or malignant, and surgical excision allows complete removal of the lesion along with appropriate margins of healthy tissue.
Excision plays a central role in the management of many skin tumors, including melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, as well as benign or uncertain lesions requiring pathological evaluation.
When performed by experienced surgeons using proper oncologic principles, skin tumor excision is safe, effective, and associated with excellent outcomes.
