Les tumeurs bénignes des annexes cutanées diagnostiquées à Ouagadougou: profil épidémiologique et histopathologique [The benign tumours of skin adnexal diagnosed in Ouagadougou: histopathological and epidemiological profile]

Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 4

Abstract

Introduction: The tumours of skin adnexal are rare and very often benign. Because of their large diversity they caused some diagnose and classification problems. They are tumours of ten mixed up with other skin tumours. The objective of this study was to study the histopathological and epidemiological profile of the benign skin adnexal tumours in Ouagadougou and to classify them according to the differenciation type in order to well know them and improve their treatment. Methodology: We conducted a retrospective study on the period of sixteen years going from 1st January 1998 to 31 December 2013. This study interested all cases of benign skin adnexal tumours histologically confirmed (diagnosed) in the three pathology laboratories of the Ouagadougou town. Results: We collected sixty cases of skin adnexal tumours on the total of 763 cases of skin tumours representing 7.8%. The benign tumours represented 86 % of the adnexal tumour cases. These tumours were occurred in the relatively young age and were preferentially located on the head (cephalic) extremity. On the histological plan, the hair follicle tumours were more frequent (42.5%) followed by sweat gland tumours (30.5%) and sebaceous gland tumours (27%). Conclusion: The annex tumours are majoritary benign occurring often on the head extremity and dominated by the hair follicle tumours.
