MATERIALS AND METHODS Present study consisted of analysis of tumours of skin received in the histopathology section of department of pathology over a period of 4 years that is from year 2014 to 2017.

RESULTS In our study, males outnumbered females and most common clinical features were swelling (87.6%) which was the most common clinical feature followed by papule (24.7%), pigmented lesions (13.8%), cyst (13.8) and ulcer (12.8%). Most common benign skin lesions were seborrheic keratosis, warts and haemangioma. And, most common malignant skin tumour was squamous cell carcinoma followed by basal cell carcinoma.
