Abstract

Chronic exposure to UV light is the most important etiological factor for the occurrence of malignant skin tumors. Light-skinned persons who for professional reasons or in leisure activities are exposed to sunlight without sun protection for long periods of time are particularly at risk. This article gives a summary of the histopathology of malignant skin tumors caused by UV light.
