AB The skin is the most common site of malignancy. Epithelial tumors, i.e.,
basalioma and squamous-cell carcinoma, are among the most frequent skin
tumors but have a good prognosis if detected early. Prognosis of
metastatic melanoma however is bad. Due to increased UV-exposure the
frequency of all three tumors has much increased in recent years.
Cutaneous lymphomas and kaposi sarcoma are rare skin tumors. The latter
is nowadays of increased interest because of its association with HIV
infection. An overview of the current epidemiologic data on malignant
skin tumors is presented.
