Skin neoplasms (tumors) are a heterogeneous group of diseases, a pathological process represented by newly formed tissue in which changes in the genetic apparatus of cells lead to disruption of the regulation of their growth and differentiation.

All skin neoplasms are divided depending on their potential for progression and clinical and morphological features into two main groups: benign tumors and malignant tumors

The growths may be flat or raised above the surface of the skin, and their color varies from dark brown or black to flesh-colored and red. They may be congenital or occur over time.
