Abstract
Introduction: Tumors arising from the skin comprises a gamut of benign and malignant cutaneous lesions.Histopathology study of these lesions is quiet challenging due to its varied presentation. Aim:This cross sectional descriptive study is focussed to analyse the various cutaneous adnexal tumors with regard to age,sex,site,size, behaviour, origin of these tumors and to correlate with the clinical presentation. Methodology: 100 cutaneous adnexal lesions reported in the Department of Pathology,Stanley Medical College over a period of 2 years were taken up for the study. Sections were stained with routine haematoxylin and eosin stains followed by histopathological examination. Results: Out of the 100 cases 97 were benign and 3 were of malignant skin adnexal tumors. Sweat gland tumors were the most common tumors encountered and accounted to 51%. Conclusion:Though skin adnexal tumors are a rarity we recorded 97 benign and 3 cases of malignant adnexal tumors.Histopathological evaluation is of great value in arriving at a diagnosis of such lesions thereby aiding appropriate management .
