Fortunately, most of these tumors are benign. The distinction is important, however, since significant surgical procedures may be needed for some tumors but are inappropriate for others. Further, some of these lesions may indicate underlying conditions that require additional evaluation and treatment. For these, as well as other reasons, it is imperative that dermatopathologists seek to accurately classify those epidermal tumors that they are called on to evaluate.
