title: [Skin tumors. Localization of basal cell carcinoma in 162 patients].
abstract: The authors present a study on the incidence of skin tumors of the face. Benign tumors are important both from an aesthetic point of view and also because some precancerous lesions may degenerate. Major emphasis is placed on the various aspects of malignant lesions: basal cell carcinomas prevail in the more exposed areas of the face. The various surgical techniques in managing facial tumors are presented and discussed, underlining the importance of both oncological radicality and functional and aesthetic aspects.
