A rare case of complex adenexal tumour of skin- Mixed tubulopapillary hidradenoma and syringocystadenoma papilliferum.

MAHARAJAN V P B

Abstract


Complex or composite adnexal tumours of the skin (CATS) are unusual neoplasms composed of two or more histopathologically distinct subtypes of appendageal         neoplasms coexisting in a single cutaneous lesion. CATS are rare tumours, with only a few cases reported in literature. Here we report this case of CATS with features of both           tubulopapillary hidradenoma(TPH) and syringocystadenoma papilliferum(SCP).
