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.
