At the service

Skin neoplasm is a broad classification term that describes various changes in its structure and function. Tumors can be both benign and malignant and appear in various shapes and sizes.

We practice an individual approach to each patient and offer a full examination before the procedure.

If you have formations on your skin, contact a professional. At the K+31 clinic you will find high-level specialists and innovative approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Classification

New growths on the skin have different origins and levels of danger. The most common ones include:

1
Papillomas. Usually their appearance is provoked by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on any part of the body, including mucous membranes. Papillomas usually have the shape of a tubercle. Some of them are covered with papillae, which gives them a warty appearance.
2
Warts. They are also caused by HPV and usually have a hard surface. The color of warts varies from light brown to dark gray. They appear anywhere, but are most common on the hands and feet.
3
Nevi (moles).They contain a large amount of melanin and can be small and flat or large and convex. Many people develop nevi throughout their lives, although congenital moles also occur.

The differences between these types of skin growths lie not only in appearance, but also in potential risks. For example, some types of papillomas and nevi can develop into cancerous tumors, so they need to be monitored and, if necessary, removed.

Reasons for appearance

The reasons for the appearance of tumors on the skin depend on their type. In addition to genetic predisposition and HPV, there are other factors that may contribute to their development:

  • Exposure to sunlight: Ultraviolet rays can damage the skin and contribute to the appearance of various (including dangerous) moles.
  • Age-related changes: with age, the body loses its ability to recover, and against this background, the likelihood of the appearance of all kinds of formations (for example, warts) increases.

Pregnancy, menopause and other phases of hormonal fluctuations also often contribute to the appearance of new formations or changes in existing ones.

Basic removal methods

There are many removal methods, which are selected depending on the characteristics of a particular case.

Surgical removal

This method is used when the tumor is large or located deep in the skin. Surgical removal uses local anesthesia and may require stitches after the procedure.

Laser coagulation

One of the safest and most painless methods. Laser beams aimed at the formation destroy it without leaving scars or scars.

Radio wave therapy

In this case, the tumor is removed using high-frequency radio waves. This method is highly accurate and has minimal risk of damage to surrounding tissue.

Cryodestruction (removal with liquid nitrogen)

Liquid nitrogen freezes and destroys the tumor. No stitches are required.

Electrocoagulation

This method involves the use of high-frequency electrical current that burns the tumor.

Diagnostics: key stages

Correctly performed diagnostics allows you to determine the type of formation and its nature. At the first stage, a visual examination of the skin is carried out by a specialist - a dermatologist or oncodermatologist.

The doctor evaluates the size, shape, color of the tumor, as well as its location and growth dynamics. However, this is only an initial assessment that requires further confirmation.

If the process is suspected of being malignant, the doctor will refer the patient for a biopsy. During the process, a tissue sample is taken for further examination under a microscope.

Dermatoscopy
For more accurate diagnosis, the following methods are used:
  • Dermatoscopy This non-invasive method allows the doctor to examine the tumor under magnification, which makes it possible to examine its structure in more detail.
  • Spectral photometric dermatoscopy This is a modern method that allows for a comprehensive study of skin formations, assessing its pigmentation and structure.
  • Skin ultrasound Allows you to assess the depth of the formation, its structure and relationship with surrounding tissues.

Removal process

The method of surgery depends on the type, size, location of the tumor and the general health of the patient. The removal process itself usually takes place under local anesthesia.

1. Preparation

Before the procedure, the removal site is treated with an antiseptic, after which a local anesthetic is administered.

2. Removal

The operation itself is quick and painless. The doctor makes a small incision and removes the tumor.

3. Processing and suture

After removal, the area is processed and a suture is applied (if necessary).

Benign neoplasms and the risk of degeneration

Benign skin tumors in 90% of cases do not pose a serious danger. Their varieties include:

  • Keratomas. They have a rough, rough surface and most often develop in people with age.
  • Lipomas. These are soft, mobile formations consisting of adipose tissue.
  • Angiomas. These are small, red or purple tumors that are essentially dilated blood vessels.

Without proper attention, keratomas, lipomas and angiomas can cause discomfort and health problems.

Nevi, papillomas and warts, in most cases, are benign formations. At the same time, some of them have the potential for malignant degeneration.

Clear signs indicating such a transformation include changes in the color, shape and size of the tumor. Indirect symptoms are the appearance of pain, bleeding or itching in a specific location.

The risk of degeneration of such tumors is quite low, and regular monitoring of changes in the skin and timely referral to specialists help reduce it to a minimum.

После диагноза "опухоль молочной железы" я была в отчаянии, но Наталья Львовна стала моей опорой. Она подробно объяснила этапы лечения, предложила варианты и дала время на обдумывание. Всегда поддерживала, отвечала на вопросы и корректировала терапию по необходимости. Ее профессионализм и внимание дали мне веру в выздоровление. Спасибо за надежду и заботу!

Хочу искренне поблагодарить Калакутскую Наталью Львовну за её профессионализм, внимание и поддержку. Проходила у неё химиотерапию в клинике "К+31", и с первого же приема поняла, что попала в надёжные руки. Доктор действует уверенно и аккуратно, подробно объясняет каждый этап лечения, всегда отвечает на вопросы. Кроме того, она умеет создать такую атмосферу, что даже во время процедуры становится легче, а тревога отступает. Благодаря Наталье Львовне лечение прошло максимально комфортно, а её советы помогают мне и дальше заботиться о своём здоровье. Огромное спасибо за вашу заботу и ваш труд!
