Histomorphological Spectrum of Skin Adnexal Tumours – A Hospital Based Study

Adnexal tumours of skin originate from the pleuripotent stem cells and they can be classified into four groups based on their differentiation towards hair follicles, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands or eccrine glands. Due to their diversity in clinical presentation, it’s a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists to give an accurate final diagnosis. Histopathology is the gold standard and along with immunohistochemistry in some cases helps in reaching the conclusive diagnosis.
