In comparison with other regions, the incidence of malignant skin tumors in Southern Kyushu is particularly high. Our hospital, a base hospital in Kagoshima Prefecture, is also experiencing an increase in the number of skin tumor cases. This trend may have been caused by increased exposure to sunlight among farmers and fishermen in addition to the difficulty in receiving treatment on the many remote islands that exist in this region, which in the long-term has led to increases in malignancy and tumor size. Diseases included basal cell carcinoma (n = 251), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 194), actinic keratosis (n = 116), Bowen's disease (n = 60), malignant melanoma (n = 17), and other tumors (n = 125) . Each disease was investigated with regard to age, gender, site of onset, and regional characteristics. Although the number of cases is increasing each year, early detection and treatment have been possible by treatment of potential cases through the establishment of pathological diagnosis as well as enhanced regional awareness. Awareness of dermatology and plastic surgery must be further promoted in this region in the future.
