Materials and methods: Total number of cases was 136, during study period from April 2007 to March 2017 (ten years) in present study. All slides stained with routine Hematoxylin and Eosin and special stains accordingly. Results: Total number of Adenexal tumors were 136; benign tumors were 134 (98.4%), malignant tumors were 02 (1.6%), Largest group was sweat gland tumors (42.1%) e.g. chondroid syringoma, eccrine poroma, syringo cystadenoma papilleferum, hair follicle tumors (35.4%) e.g. trichoepithelioma, pilomatricoma and sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous carcinoma.
