Skin tumors of the male chest are frequent malignancies. They range from benign lesions, that merely cause cosmetic concern, to premalignant lesions and aggressive tumors. The vast majority of skin tumors in male chest are benign. Morphologically, they manifest as smooth papules, nodules, keratotic or cystic lesions, or painless lump that grows slowly. Multiplicity of lesions is a reliable clinical clue to the benign nature of the condition. Malignant tumors are usually solitary, irregular, rapidly growing plaques or nodules that may ulcerate. They may arise de novo but some may arise from a preexisting benign tumor. Some tumors may metastasize. The diagnosis of a skin tumor is quite often made histopathologically, but some tumors can be recognized with some certainty on clinical grounds. Multiplicity of lesions makes the diagnosis simpler than when there is a solitary papule or nodule.
