Skin adnexal tumors those neoplasms deriving from hair follicles and sweat glands are often a source of confusion amongst even experienced pathologists. Many well-described entities have overlapping features tumors are often only partially sampled and many cases do not fit neatly into well-established classification schemes. Median age was 595 years range 22-95.
Primary site was the head and neck 52. Most common histologic subtypes were skin appendage carcinoma 20 and eccrine adenocarcinoma 20. And the vast majority were T1 44.
Most patients 98 underwent surgical treatment. Chemotherapy and radiation were administered to 8 and 14 of patients respectively. Recurrence rate was 12.
Malignant adnexal tumors of the skin MATS are rare. We aimed to measure the survival of patients with MATS and identify predictors of improved survival. A retrospective review of MATS treated at our institution from 1990 to 2012.
There were 50 patients within the time period. Median age was 595 years range 2295. Primary site was the head and neck 52.
Most common histologic subtypes were skin. In this article I reviewed the histological features of the common skin adnexal tumors with an emphasis on simple diagnostic histological approach. This approach depends generally on the location of the tumor cell cytoplasm and color of the tumor in a low power.
