ABSTRACT:

Background: Troublesome tumors (Skin adnexal tumors (SAT)) pose a major diagnostic difficulties because of their wide spectrum and variants, their rarity, differentiation along two or more adnexal lines and their complicated nomenclature to both the surgeon and the pathologist. Histopathology is the gold standard of diagnosis with immunohistochemistry playing a limited role.

Materials and methods:  A Prospective study of skin adnexal tumors (n =25) diagnosed on histopathological examination over a period of 2 years (June 2015 to May 2017). All slides were stained with H & E.

Results: Majority of the patients are in the third and fourth decade. Females outnumbered the males.Twenty-two tumors are benign and 3 are malignant. Most common skin adnexal tumors are Hair follicle origin tumors comprising of 15cases (60%). In that most common benign tumor is Trichoepithelioma. Head and neck region is the commonest site involved.

Conclusion: Skin adnexal tumors are relatively rare. Benign adnexal tumors are more common than the malignant lesions. Histopathology is essential to confirm the diagnosis.

Key words:Hair follicle, Skin adnexal tumors, Trichoepithelioma, Eccrine poroma.
