Objective: To determine the clinical, pathological features of skin carcinoma and evaluate the results of surgical treatment. Subject and method: A prospective cross-sectional descriptive study, performed on 178 patients with skin carcinoma whom were diagnosed and treated at The K Hospital and No.108 Military Central Hospital from October 2011 to May 201 S. Patient data were collected including ages, gender as well as characteristics of the skin tumors such as location, size, clinical stages and surgical methods. Histopathological classification, grades, TNM stages were according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), 7th Edition (2010). The flap status as well as tumor recurrence and metastasis were evaluated post-operatively over a mean follow-up period of 23.8 +/- 11.2 months. Result and conclusion: Skin carcinoma was frequent in old patients with an average age of 66 +/- 0.13 years old. The ratio of male/female was 0.87. Tumors were mainly located in facial skin (86.6 percent), especially in nose, cheeks and eyelids (84.8 percent). The incidence of basal cell carcinoma was higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma (64.6 percent versus 35.4 percent). The surgical methods were mainly wide resection and closing the defects with primarily closure, using random flaps, perforator flaps and free flaps or skin grafts. With mean follow-up period of 23.8 +/- 1 1.2 months, the tumor recurrent rate was 3.4 percent.
