Resumen
SIMAO, TS et al. Distribution of skin lesions on the head and neck region. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.4. ISSN 1851-300X.
Skin cancer (including melanoma and basal cell and squamous cell cancers) is by far the most common type of cancer of all cancers. Most of these are basal cell cancers. Squamous cell cancers occur less frequently. Ninety-six percent of resections of skin lesions in the plastic surgery clinic of the Hospital Servidor Público Estadual de Sao Paulo, are represented by lesions in the regions of the face, head and neck. The knowledge of the epidemiological profile of service, helps us to establish prevention and treatment of skin malignancies.
