Cutaneous Skin Malignancy In Different Location – Surgical Margin And Its Reconstruction Options

Abstract

One of most prevalent types of cancer worldwide is “skin cancer.” “Melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer” (NMSC) are two kinds of cutaneous skin cancer. “Malignant melanom” is most aggressive variety of NMSC, but “squamous cell carcinoma” (SCC) and “basal cell carcinoma” (BCC) constitute the most prevalent varieties. Primary goals of surgical intervention are to maximize cosmetic results, minimize functional impact, and remove the tumor completely thus avoiding recurrence. This case series consists of five cases of cutaneous skin malignancy, aim of the study to review current surgical margins in different anatomical location and its reconstruction options. Out of 5 patients, three was diagnosed SCC, one were melanoma and one were BCC after histopathological confirmation. Timely skin cancer diagnosis by routine skin screening program, education, and sun protection reduces morbidity and improves survival.
