Cutaneous Adnexal Tumors

Adnexal Tumors of the Skin by Phillip McKee, Michal Michal, and Denise Kacerovska provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the complex world of cutaneous adnexal tumors. These lesions, though relatively rare, present diagnostic challenges due to their varied histologic appearances, overlapping morphologies, and confusing nomenclature. The book is designed for general pathologists, dermatopathologists, and trainees who encounter these tumors in routine practice, offering a user-friendly reference for both common and rare presentations. It emphasizes the recognition of malignant variants and inherited syndromes where adnexal tumors may be significant.
