A skin lesion is any alteration in normal skin architecture. There are many different kinds of skin lesions: benign, pre-malignant, and malignant, which can occur on any site throughout the body. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to clinically differentiate a skin lesion into one of these categories.

There are many types of benign skin lesions and the diagnoses can often be made by clinical examination. Those lesions for which the diagnoses are uncertain may require incisional or excisional biopsy.

A pre-malignant lesion, given time, may become malignant. Examples of pre-malignant lesions include dysplastic nevi, giant congenital nevi, nevus sevaceous, and actinic keratosis.

The three most commin malignancies seen are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Other rare cutaneous and subcutaneous malignancies are also seen.
