Abstract
Introduction Skin tumors arise due to proliferation of group of cells having differentiation towards single or multiple components of skin Based on their primary site of involvement they can be divided into neoplasms with epithelial differentiation melanocytic neoplasms soft tissue neoplasms neural tumors and tumors of subcutaneous tissueAims 1 To evaluate the demographic and clinicopathological patterns of tumors tumor like lesions cysts of epidermis and its appendages 2 To compare the profile of patients with appendageal tumors against the total epidermal tumorsMaterials and Methods Prospective study from July 2012 to November 2014 done at tertiary care centerResults During the period of three years there were 306 cases which presented as skin tumors and out of these 57 happened to be cysts and the remaining 249 were tumors of skin Out of 249 cases 205 were diagnosed as benign 23 were of premalignant and 21 as malignant tumors of skin constituting 8232 924 and 843 respectively There was male predominance with male to female ratio of 1281 In this study benign keratinocytic tumors formed majority 4927 followed by melanocytic 3132 and appendageal tumors 1044 Among keratinocytic tumors maximum cases were of seborrheic keratosis 3219 among melanocytic tumors maximum cases were of acquired melanocytic nevus 2140 while nevus sebaceous 487 formed majority among appendageal tumors In present study malignant keratinocytic tumors formed majority 9523 followed by melanocytic 476 Among keratinocytic tumors maximum cases were of BCC 5714Conclusion The diagnosis of skin tumors presents unique difficulties due to wide variety of tumors and the complicated nomenclature The study of the adnexal tumours is interesting fascinating and challenging because of wide range of differentiationKeywords Skin tumours Benign tumors Cysts Benign keratinocytic tumors Melanocytic tumors Appendageal tumors
