Abstract

Skin cancers are relatively uncommon malignancies worldwide, but the incidence of skin cancers has progressively increased over the last few decades. The distinction between benign and malignant neoplasm are more difficult to define when they appear in skin than when found elsewhere and histopathological examination is frequently required to establish a definitive diagnosis. The present study was the incidence of various benign and malignant tumours of skin and its adnexa. Histopathological examination remains the gold standard in diagnosing most skin tumours. Thus diagnosis of any skin tumor can be done by correlating clinical features and histological features, which in turn can be supported by histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Most of the skin tumours were Nodular lesions (34.3%), followed by papular lesions (28.4%) and by ulcerated lesions (9.8%). Malignant tumours commonly presented as ulcerated lesions. Head and neck region was the most common site of occurrence followed by extremities and trunk. Keratinocytic (31.4%) tumours were the commonest group among all skin tumours.
