Tumors with Pilosebaceous Differentiation: A Five Year Retrospective Study at BPKIHS

Abstract

Background: Skin appendageal tumors (SAT) are a large and diverse group of tumors that are commonly classified according to their state of appendageal differentiation: Follicular, sebaceous, eccrine and apocrine. Most adnexal neoplasms are uncommonly encountered in routine practice, and pathologists can easily recognise frequently encountered tumours. In this study, the histological features of important benign and malignant tumors of pilosebaceous origin were reviewed considering its morphologic types, subtypes, age, sex and anatomic site.
