Sažetak
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common malignancy in humans. Recognition of atypical tumors, recurrent tumors and multiple tumors is sometimes diffi cult. Cytological sampling is painless, non-invasive and accurate method, useful in skin cancer evaluation. In our study, which included 91 patient, overall accuracy of cytology in non-melanoma skin cancer was 91.2%. We fi nd this method most useful in diff erentiating small benign looking lesions, in multiple skin changes and in suspected recurrent skin cancer.
