Epithelioma is a type of skin cancer that arises from the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. It is also known as squamous cell carcinoma and is caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds.
Epitheliomas often appear as a small, scaly, red bump or patch on the skin that may grow over time. They can occur anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, scalp, neck, hands, and arms.
If left untreated, epitheliomas can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body, leading to serious health complications.
Treatment for epithelioma typically involves surgical removal of the affected area, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the size and location of the tumor and the extent of its spread. Prevention measures, such as regular use of sunscreen and limiting exposure to UV radiation, can greatly reduce the risk of developing epithelioma.
