AB |PrintAppendageal  Tumors  at  a  GlanceTumors  differentiate  from  cutaneous  adnexal  structures  into  sebaceous,  apocrine,  eccrine,  and  follicular  neoplasms.Clinically,  tumors  are  indistinct  and  typically  present  as  papules  and  nodules,  requiring  histopathologic  evaluation.  Anatomic  location,  presence  of  single  or  multiple  lesions,  and  knowledge  of  distribution  of  adnexal  structures  should  be  considered  in  development  of  a  differential  diagnosis.Appendageal  tumors  often  serve  as  markers  of  underlying  genetic  syndromes.Risk  of  malignant  degeneration  varies  with  individual  lesions,  and  is  more  common  with  sweat  gland  tumors  than  pilosebeceous  tumors.
