## Contribution

The study provides a regional insight into the prevalence and characteristics of cutaneous neoplasms in Gujarat.

## Key findings

- Benign tumors accounted for 69.7% of all cases, with keratinocytic tumors being the most common.

- Histopathological analysis was emphasized as crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

## Abstract

Cutaneous neoplasms exhibit a wide histopathological spectrum, often posing diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical
features. This retrospective study analyzed 66 cases diagnosed between January 2022 and December 2024 at a tertiary care center in
Gujarat. Benign tumors were most common (69.7%), with keratinocytic tumors being the predominant type (40.9%). The face was the most
frequently affected site (34.9%), and nodular lesions were the typical presentation (63.6%). Histopathology remains essential for
accurate diagnosis and timely treatment of skin tumors.
