title: [Clinical aspects and therapy of skin malignancies in the head and neck area].
abstract: A retrospective study of 199 surgically treated skin carcinomas showed that the majority of the insufficiently resected tumors had a maximum diameter of 10 mm. A surgical concept is presented which allows reliable histological control of the tumor margins and an exact resection of any residual carcinoma. This therapeutic approach is also indicated in the management of small skin malignancies.
