Adnexal polyp of neonatal skin. 1975

A Hidano, and T Kobayashi

The adnexal polyp of neonatal skin is a small, usually solitary tumour of the skin occurring mostly on the areola of the nipple of the neonate. Our statistics reveal an incidence of 4-0% in 3,257 newborn infants. Histologically it always contains hair follicles, eccrine glands and vestigial sebaceous glands, hence the term 'adnexal polyp of neonatal skin' is proposed. No similar report has been hitherto recorded.
