Abstract :
The cutaneous appendageal tumors are an ideal subject for study from clinical and morphological point
of view and so ubiquitous that they can affect people of all age group A histopathological study of 100
cases of cutaneous appendageal tumors was carried out at tertiary care hospital over 18 months. A Total
95 cases were benign and 5 cases were malignant tumors, constituting 95.0 % p0.01
respectively. Sweat gland tumors were the most common manifestation (79.0% ) p

of benign tumors, syringoma accounted for 48% (48), trichoepithelioma12 p
(11) p0.01. Total
(39) p
clinically and histopathologically.
Summing of the results concludes that ,the diagnosis of skin tumors presenting with unique difficulties
in correlation with wide variety of tumors . Histopathological study is one of the most valuable means
of diagnosis in dermatopathology and the diagnosis of skin tumors can be done by correlating clinical
