Therefore, I believe, I need not consider the adnexal neoplasms, as syringoma, trichoepithelioma, multiple benign cystic epithelioma and the others. These are either nevi or nevoid lesions and are not malignant. Epitheliomas of the skin are epithelial neoplasms which are malignant. There are three large groups, depending on the cells involved: basal cell, prickle cell and undifferentiated cell.
