Recognition and management of unusual cutaneous tumors.
This article has briefly outlined some of the more unusual cutaneous neoplasms that may be encountered in a dermatologic practice. Although rare, they must always be kept in mind and included in the differential diagnosis. Because of the highly aggressive nature of many of these tumors, delay in diagnosis and treatment could be fatal. A high level of suspicion is necessary for the correct prebiopsy diagnosis.
