CUTANEOUS ADNEXAL TUMORS

Description

Adnexal tumors of the skin are complex, with confusing nomenclature. Many lesions show marked variation in histological appearance and there is considerable morphological overlap between different entities. These tumors are relatively rare, compared forexample with melanocytic lesions, but still are part of everyday routine workfor all histopathologists. Therefore, many general pathologists (the majorityof whom are obliged to report dermatopathology specimens) are unfamiliar withthe topic and even the experts have difficulties with the more challengingcases. Although the majority of adnexal tumors represent benign lesions,malignant counterparts do occur and these often represent a diagnostic pitfall.There are many inherited syndromes in which cutaneous adnexal tumors are afeature, and failure to recognize these associations may have seriousimplications. The proposed book will be comprehensive and will include allrecognized variants covering the broad spectrum of adnexal tumor pathology. Includedwill also be chapters dealing with site-specific lesions such as the eyelid,neck, navel, anogenital areas, etc. The format will be extremely user-friendlycomprising succinct text and comprehensive microscopic illustrations. The scopewill be such that any variation on the theme of adnexal tumor pathology will bereadily available at a glance. The text will be structured as follows: clinicalfeatures, histology, immunohistochemistry, genetic features and differentialdiagnosis.

Features
