Abstract

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, it fulfills multiple functions that make it an anatomical structure, essential for life. There are multiple conditions that can occur in the Bucco maxillofacial complex from a dermatological point of view. This motivated the realization of the present investigation with the objective of describing the main risks and complications in patients with malignant skin tumors in the head and neck. For this, an exhaustive bibliographic review was carried out based on national and international literature, using different descriptors in English and Spanish. The previous experience of the author was taken into account. A critical analysis was then carried out, highlighting the main risks and complications that may occur in these patients. Illustrations of different therapeutic procedures performed on patients are shown. The content was organized by diagnosis and location of the lesions. At the end of the investigation, it is concluded that there are multiple complications and risks to which these patients are exposed, causing functional, mechanical, aesthetic damage, psychological and nutritional alterations.
