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