Anygomac skin#

The primary differential diagnosis in a subcutaneous mass is a sebaceous cyst or abscess. Lipomas must be clinically differentiated from other tumors.

Laser ablation, shave excision with electrodesiccation of base Rapidly growing, yellow to violaceous, friable nodule, often surrounded by scaly collaretteĪmelanotic melanoma, Spitz nevus, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma Use caution with facial lipomas and recurrent lesions after excision Ultrasonography can help differentiate lipomas from other deep neoplasms

Epidermal inclusion cysts can be treated by simple excision with removal of the cyst and cyst wall.

No treatment is required unless there is a change in size or color, bleeding, or irritation from trauma. Dermatofibromas are an idiopathic benign proliferation of fibroblasts. Treatment includes laser ablation or shave excision with electrodesiccation of the base. Pyogenic granuloma is a rapidly growing nodule that bleeds easily. Keratoacanthomas are rapidly growing, squamoproliferative benign tumors that resemble squamous cell carcinomas. Lipomas are soft, flesh-colored nodules that are easily moveable under the overlying skin. Except for cosmesis, they have no clinical significance. Sebaceous hyperplasia presents as asymptomatic, discrete, soft, pale yellow, shiny bumps on the forehead or cheeks, or near hair follicles. Simple scissor or shave excision, electrodesiccation, or cryosurgery can be used for treatment. Acrochordons are extremely common, small, and typically pedunculated benign neoplasms. Lesions that are suspicious for malignancy, those with changing characteristics, symptomatic lesions, and those that cause cosmetic problems may warrant medical therapy, a simple office procedure (e.g., excision, cryosurgery, laser ablation), or referral. Most lesions can be diagnosed on the basis of history and clinical examination. Family physicians should be able to distinguish potentially malignant from benign skin tumors. Patients will experience a wide range of skin growths and changes over their lifetime.
