Abstract
Background: Cutaneous appendageal tumours belong to a diverse group of tumours with specific histo pathology.The aim of this study is to determine the pattern, age,gender and site distribution of Pilar differentiation tumours. Material & Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Pathology,Government Medical College Srinagar for a period of 18 months. It was an observational cross sectional study.Formalin fixed,paraffin embedded tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain for histopathological analysis. Results: A total of 112 cases of Pilar tumours were studied.108 were benign and 4 were malignant with male to female ratio of 1.07:1. The maximum number of benign cases were observed in 11 -20 years of age group and the malignant tumours age ranges from 35-45 years and the tumour usually presented in the eighth decade.Head and Neck was the most common site.
