Histopathological Evaluation and Review of Cutaneous Adnexal Tumors (Cats) – A Research Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Tumors arising from primary adnexal structures skin are Cutaneous adnexal tumors (CATs). These are benign and malignant tumors derived from multipotential cell lines. Even though HPE can differentiate benign and malignant CATs, the classification is still a different task due to variable growth patterns and metaplastic transformations. Aim: To study, classify and review various CATs and evade pitfalls in differentiating benign and malignant CATs. Material and Method: A retrospective study of the diagnosed CATs was done for a period of three years. Histopathological examination (HPE) and classification of tumors was carried out. Results: In the present study 32 cases of CATs were diagnosed. There were 16 (50%) of sweat gland tumors. Male predominance was observed, Male: Female ratio, 1.4:1. Maximum numbers of CATs seen in age group of 21-40 yrs, 15 (46.8%). Majority 30 (93.75%) cases were benign tumors, only 2 (6.25%) malignant tumors. Pilomatricoma was most common of CATs 6 (18.75%) cases. Head and neck region, common site 24 (75%). Conclusion: There is low incidence of CATs in India. The majority of cases are benign tumors. HPE helps in diagnosis, classification, differentiation and management of CATs.
