Skin Elastoma

Skin elastoma (lat. elastoma cutis; from ancient Greek ἔλαστος [élasto s] “stretchy; soft” + (κόκκυξ) [kókkuks] “skin”) is a concept from dermatology, usually used to refer to benign tumors of the skin. Elastomas are the most common type of skin cancer (malignant epithelioma). Approximately one in eight cases of skin cancer is elastoma. Initially, elastomas were described as peculiar tumors, consisting mainly of fibroblasts and connective tissue, capable of diffuse growth and giving general metastases, which are a kind of pedunculated squamous cell carcinoma, which, unlike other epithelial malignancies, does not spread along the dermis due to present in the elastoms of the fibrous vascular stroma. This circumstance leads to the fact that it is fundamentally impossible to perform full-fledged skin grafting for this tumor. The word "elastom" is derived from the Greek: 'elas' - elastic, 'otos' - tumor. This tumor occurs in the skin, uterus, breast, bone, etc. The growth of such a formation is explained by the fact that blasteal cells began to multiply and, as a result, the elasticity of the body is lost. To complete the first stage in the treatment of this disease, a detailed collection of the patient’s medical history is necessary. Drug therapy includes:

- Antibacterial drugs; - Anti-inflammatory drugs; Skin elastoma is usually treated with surgery. After carrying out the necessary diagnostics, the doctor will give the necessary recommendations for treatment and, if necessary, may prescribe surgery. The advantage of surgical treatment of skin elastoma is that this method can restore skin elasticity and prevent further development of the disease. As a result, the surgical method is the most effective today and helps the patient return to his normal life. If treatment does not bring positive results, this may lead to relapses. Relapse occurs as follows: the tumor continues to grow in the place where the growth began
