Abstract
The number of nonmelanoma skin tumor diagnoses is greater than the number of diagnoses of other tumors combined. Therefore, knowledge of this entity is fundamental to daily clinical practice. In addition, its incidence is increasing, mostly due to the increase in life expectancy and resulting accumulation of sun exposure. The most common tumors are keratinocytic neoplasms (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma). Much less common are skin lymphomas, Merkel cell carcinoma, Kaposi sarcoma, angiosarcomas, Paget's disease, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We review the main characteristics of the two most common types, as they are tumors which are potentially curable in their initial stages and as such, early diagnosis and treatment are key.
