Sometimes a large tumor can still be benign.What is required is merely excision of the tumor without wide excision of the adjacent normal tissues(as it is done in cancer surgery)
Benign tumor needs Simple Excision.Malignant tumor needs Radical Excision
A skin cyst(sebaceous cyst) is a common benign skin condition that is found on many people.
Sebaceous cyst starts with a small lump on the skin with a dimple in the centre.
Most small sebaceous cyst that is asymptomatic does not require any specific treatment.
Some sebaceous cysts will cause complications like pain and infection
Very rarely sebaceous cyst can grow to a very large size(see pic.) that require surgery under general anesthesia.
