P. Umarani, C. Swathi, K. Rama Murthy
Abstract :
Evaluation of skin biopsies with special emphasis on adnexal neoplasms in regards to incidence, morphological sub–types and also few prognostically indeterminate mimics in adnexal neoplasms.In a 3year retrospective study, total no. of skin biopsies received were 282, of which 5% were adnexal tumors. All the tissue specimen received were formalin fixed, processed in paraffin wax, stained with Haematoxylin & Eosin along with special stains wherever necessary & reported. Among adnexal tumors, the tumors with eccrine differentiation constituted 50% & apocrine were 21.42%. Tumors with follicular differentiation were 21.42% & single case with sebaceous differentiation accounting to 7.14% . M:F ratio in benign tumors is 1:1, and 2 cases of malignant tumors in males are reported at ASRAMS. Clinically adnexal neoplasms should be regarded as precursor of malignancy. So critical evaluation of the skin biopsies is essential.
