Clinical and pathological analysis of cutaneous mixed tumors

Arch Dermatol Res. 2024 Oct 14;316(10):680. doi: 10.1007/s00403-024-03429-8.

Abstract

In this study we aimed to understand and summarize the clinical and pathological characteristics of cutaneous mixed tumors. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data of 20 patients diagnosed with cutaneous mixed tumors in our outpatient department between January 2014 and April 2024. The study comprised 20 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. The mean age of onset was 52.10 ± 15.46 years. All patients presented with solitary cutaneous lesions ranging from 2 to 30 mm in diameter. Notably, none of the patients received a preoperative diagnosis of cutaneous mixed tumor. The clinical manifestations of cutaneous mixed tumors are nonspecific, necessitating histopathological examination for a definitive diagnosis.
