“…Although most benign scalp tumors require surgical intervention only when they become inflamed or for cosmetic reasons, distinguishing them from malignant tumors purely on clinical grounds is often challenging or even impossible. In light of the astonishingly low rate of correct preoperative diagnoses as regards scalp tumors (13–27 %), indistinct and suspicious lesions should always warrant histological confirmation . For example, angiosarcoma can mimic numerous (more banal) skin conditions (hematoma, rosacea, erysipeloid, radiodermatitis) and should therefore always be considered in the differential diagnosis (Figure ) .…”

“…Not least because of the high density of sebaceous glands, the scalp is the most common site of trichilemmal cysts, accounting for approximately 80 % of such lesions. There are numerous other benign scalp tumors such as lipoma, fibroma, pilomatricoma (calcified cyst), seborrheic keratosis, nevi, hemangioma, warts and pseudolymphoma .…”

Tumors of the scalp are characterized by an impressively broad and heterogeneous clinical spectrum. They frequently exhibit site-specific features distinguishing them from their counterparts elsewhere on the skin. Although mostly benign, diagnosis and treatment of these lesions may pose a significant challenge due to impaired visibility (and thus delayed detection), anatomical circumstances, exposure to (exogenous) noxious agents, distinct histological features, as well as the often-advanced age of affected individuals. This is even more true for malignant tumors of the scalp, which are uncommon but associated with a poor prognosis. Adequate patient care therefore requires interdisciplinary management. Against this background, the present article addresses general principles and distinct features of the most important tumors of the scalp.

Zusammenfassung Kopfhauttumoren zeigen ein beeindruckend breites, heterogenes Entitätsspektrum und nicht selten relevante lokalisationsbezogene Eigenheiten im Vergleich zu ihren Pendants am restlichen Integument. Wiewohl großenteils benigner Natur, können erschwerte Einsehbarkeit und verzögerte Wahrnehmung, lokale anatomische Verhältnisse, verstärkte Exposition gegenüber (exogenen) Noxen, distinkte histomorphologische Muster wie auch das häufig vorgeschrittene Alter der Betroffenen die Behandlung zu einer diagnostischen und therapeutischen Herausforderung werden lassen. Letztes gilt umso mehr für die seltenen bösartigen Tumoren an der Kopfhaut mit häufig schlechter Prognose. Interdisziplinär akkordierte Behandlungsstrategien sind deshalb von besonderer kontextualer Relevanz. Vor diesem komplexen Hintergrund werden allgemeine Prinzipien und relevante Spezifika der wichtigsten Kopfhauttumoren dargestellt.

A Novel Approach for Treating Lipomas: Percutaneous Microwave Ablation Combined with Liposuction

Lipomas, benign adipose tissue tumors, are a common occurrence but currently, the options for their treatment are limited, with surgical excision being the most frequently used management pathway. This scenario can often lead to unsatisfactory cosmetic results and significant patient discomfort. This paper introduces a novel technique, percutaneous microwave ablation with liposuction, to address these challenges. The innovative procedure aims to enhance patient satisfaction, minimize post-operative discomfort, and improve aesthetic outcomes. The technique involves two key steps: (1) the application of percutaneous microwave ablation to selectively disrupt the lipoma cells, followed by (2) a targeted liposuction procedure to remove the ablated lipoma tissue. Our approach optimizes the removal of the lipoma and preserves the surrounding healthy tissue, reducing the risk of local recurrence and improving the cosmetic result. The use of preoperative ultrasound imaging allows for precise localization and delineation of the lipoma, aiding in the planning and execution of the procedure. This novel approach to lipoma treatment is reliable, associated with minimal morbidity, and consistently yields effective results. Additionally, it provides a new perspective on lipoma management, potentially changing the paradigm of current treatment approaches.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
