Abstract

The otolaryngologist is frequently called upon to deliver the diagnosis of a skin lesion. In consultation or in passing, you could be the only one who notices that insidious melanoma. Perhaps the condition is a manifestation of a systemic illness that can be unmasked by the practical knowledge delivered in this chapter. If you diagnose one of the numerous benign skin lesions, you may confidently provide treatment options previously unknown to the patient for a cosmetically concerning lesion. This chapter will review the critical benign and malignant cutaneous lesions that may be encountered on the head and neck as well as their treatment. Management of advanced cutaneous malignancies, melanoma, and vascular anomalies will not be covered and can be found in Chapters 80 and 203, respectively.
