Tumor Skin

What is tumor Skin?

Skin tumor growths on the skin caused by abnormal cells. There are various types of skin tumor cells derived from different skin layers. Three main types of skin tumor are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Melanoma is the most dangerous skin tumor where they grow and spread to other organs of the body quickly.

Skin is the outer lining of the body. It protects us from heat and light, injury, and infection. It regulates body temperature and stores water, fat and vitamin D. With a weight of about 2.73 kg (6 lb), skin is the body’s largest organ. It is composed of two main layers: the outer skin layers and layers of skin. The outer skin (epidermis) is formed from a flat scale like cells called squamous cells. Under the squamous cells are round cells called basal cells. The deepest part of the epidermis also contains melanocytes. These cells produce melanin, which gives color to the skin. Layer of skin (dermis) contains blood and lymph vessels, hair follicles, and glands. These glands produce sweat, which helps regulate body temperature, and sebum, an oily substance that prevent cracks. Sweat and sebum reach the skin surface through pores.
