Abstract
When benign and malignant neoplasms exist in the skin, it becomes difficult to distinguish between them from a clinical perspective. Frequently, a histological examination is required to achieve a definitive diagnosis. Histopathological testing is a crucial diagnostic tool in the field of dermatology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence, distribution and features of cancerous skin tumors originating from the adnexal structures in the Jammu region. The study was carried out on a sample of 50 cases over a four‐year period (2009 to 2013) at the Department of Pathology, ASCCOMS, Jammu. Out of all the different forms of skin appendageal tumors detected, 47 (94%) were found to be benign and 3 (6%) were determined to be malignant. Among all study participants, 66.7% had malignant eccrine tumors and 33.3% had malignant sebaceous tumors, according to the histological types of the malignant skin appendageal tumors. There was one instance of a malignant eccrine tumor in males, while no instances of malignant sebaceous tumors were seen. There is one instance of each malignant eccrine tumor and malignant sebaceous tumor in females. The number of benign cutaneous and adnexal neoplasms exceeds the number of malignant neoplasms. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained sections are the most effective approach for establishing the primary diagnosis due to their unique histomorphological characteristics.
