“…The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of benign SATs in our population. The mean age range was 40.97±19.3 years in our study, which is similar to the study conducted by Yaqoob N et al [9], while the mean age was 28.2±9.45 years in a study published by Preeti et al, which is discordant with our findings [10]. Female gender predilection was noted in our study which is similar to the study conducted by Sam et al [11].…”

BackgroundSkin adnexal tumors (SATs) are categorized per the site of origin, for example, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. In our population, there is limited information related to the clinicopathological characteristics of these tumors. Management and prognosis depend largely upon the morphological type of the tumor. In this study, we assessed the disease spectrum and most prevalent subtypes of benign SATs. MethodologyAn analysis of 565 cases was conducted in this cross-sectional study between January 2018 and December 2022, using a non-probability consecutive sampling approach. Patient age, gender, site of involvement, and diagnosis were documented according to the fourth edition of the WHO Classification of Skin Tumors published in 2018. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). ResultsOur study had 565 patients, out of which 271 (47.9%) were males and 294 (52.1%) were females. The mean age was 40.97±19.3 years (range, 2-100 years). Anatomical site variations were as follows, head and neck (n=336, 59.4%), extremities (n=124, 22%), trunk (n=84, 14.9%), and genital areas (n=21, 3.7%). The most common histological subtypes of benign SATs were sweat gland origin (n=350, 62.0%), followed by hair follicle origin (n=161, 28.5 %), and sebaceous gland origin (n=54, 9.5%). ConclusionSweat gland tumors were the most prevalent class of benign SATs in our study, in which hidradenoma and poroma were the most frequent subtypes. Hair follicle origin was the second most prevalent class of tumors with pilomatricoma being the most frequent. Sebaceous tumors were overall uncommon; nevus sebaceous of Jadasshon was the most common tumor in this class.

“…1 SATs are often nonspecific, nondescript flesh colored single or multiple papulo-nodular lesions with changing clinic-pathologic significance according to the type. 2 Adnexal tumors are primary skin lesions that arise from pilosebaceous unit, eccrine or apocrine sweat glands. 3 Most of these tumors are benign but malignant can arise.…”

Objective: To find out the frequency of benign and malignant skin adnexal neoplasms. Study design: Descriptive study. Materials and methods: It is a descriptive study in which we studied all cases of skin adnexal tumors that are registered in Mayo hospital over the period of six months. Tumors were evaluated according to the type and site , age and gender of the patient. The tumors are classified by WHO classification. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS Version 21 for statistical analysis. Results: 45 skin adnexal tumors were studied in which, 40 (88.9%) were benign and 5 (11.1%) were malignant. Conclusion: Skin adnexal tumors are comparatively uncommon lesions. Benign neoplasms are more frequent than malignant.
