Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Tumors of epidermal appendages are uncommon accounting for 0.2%. Most of these tumors are difficult clinically to diagnose. Histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry will be helpful to analyze and categorize these tumors effectively. MATERIAL & METHODS: This study was conducted at Institute of Pathology, Madras Medical College, Chennai from January 2017 to August 2018. All the benign and malignant skin adnexal tumors were included in our study with the exclusion of non-neoplastic lesions. RESULTS: Out of total 19,856 biopsies, 46 cases of skin adnexal tumors were received comprising of 0.22%. Male to Female ratio was 1:2.06. 40 cases were benign & 6 cases were malignant. 22.5% of benign cases occurred in 11-20years, whereas all 6 malignant cases were seen after 4th decade. 52.17% of cases were of eccrine origin followed by follicular tumors at 21.7%. Commonest malignant tumor was Porocarcinoma and commonest benign tumors were Eccrine poroma & Nevus sebaceous. CONCLUSION: Overall incidence of skin adnexal tumors were low in South Indian population with more incidence of benign tumors. Common age group affected were 51-60years. Histopathology is the diagnostic modality for these tumors because of varied clinical presentation.
