“…Malignant tumors are rare compared to benign counterparts and irregularly shaped, and ulcerated. 12 Adnexal neoplasms of low cytological degree give better prognosis if lesion is totally removed. Those with high cytological degree may show metastasis and exhibit more aggressive clinical course.…”

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.

“…This was comparable to a study done in Iran which reported M : F = 1 : 1.02, 17 and another study in Nigeria by Adegoke and Ajani 20 reported M : F = 1 : 1.07. Most other studies also reported female predominance 11,12,16,19,22–25 . A larger number of men was reported by a study in Slovakia which found M : F = 1.2 : 1, 1 an Egyptian study which reported M : F = 1.5 : 1, 16 a Moroccan study which found M : F = 1.16 : 1, 21 and three Indian studies by Viswanathan et al., Divya Tejaswi Gopidesi et al., and Sinha et al 7,26,27 .…”

For example, syringoma is reported more commonly in females.…”

BackgroundAdnexal tumors of the skin are rare neoplasms that encompass a wide range of dermatologic entities. Here, we investigated the pattern of adnexal tumors of the skin in the All African Leprosy and Tuberculosis Rehabilitation and Training Center (ALERT) hospital retrospectively.MethodsA hospital‐based retrospective study was conducted at ALERT from histopathology records in the Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) pathology laboratory of patients diagnosed with any of the skin adnexal tumors during the time period January 2017 to December 2021. A structured data extraction sheet was used. Data entry was done using EpiData 4.6.0.6. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.ResultA total of 146 skin adnexal tumors were identified making the magnitude 2.8% of total biopsies. The 3rd decade of life was found to be the most common age group. Male‐to‐female ratio was 1 : 1.05. Majority of the tumors were benign (82.2%) and had sweat gland differentiation at 48.6%. Poroma (10.9%) was the most frequent tumor, whereas porocarcinoma (6.8%) made up the most frequent malignant tumor. The most common site was the head and neck region (48.6%). Only 21.2% of the tumors were correctly identified clinically.ConclusionThe magnitude of skin adnexal tumors is found to be slightly higher than other similar studies which could be because it was carried out in the largest dermatologic center in the country. The most common skin adnexal tumors identified, their localizations, and lines of differentiation are all in line with other studies. Histopathologic examination is mandatory for the accurate diagnosis of these tumors.
