Examination modalities that are often used to diagnose a variety of skin tumors is histopathologic examination of punch and shave biopsy material. Cytological examination method that has the advantages of faster diagnosis and non-invasive expected to have an important role in the diagnosis of skin tumors. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of preoperative cytology with histopathological examination to determine the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of cytology in skin tumors. Archival data collection histopathological examination of skin tumors between January 2008 to December 2010 at the Hospital Dr. Anatomical Pathology. Atopic Dermatitis. Retrieved 530 cases of skin tumor histopathology. A total of 201 (35.89%) cases had a preoperative cytologic examination. A retrospective study was conducted with 201 re-read the case and compare the preoperative cytologic and histopathologic results to determine the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of cytology in the diagnosis of skin tumors.
