    TLDR The review emphasizes the need to recognize skin conditions that affect hair follicles and sweat glands to avoid misdiagnosis.
    This review discusses the adnexotropic variants of interface dermatitides, which are a group of skin conditions that can affect hair follicles and sweat glands. The review highlights the importance of recognizing that the adnexa, which include hair follicles and eccrine glands, can often be involved in these conditions. This knowledge is crucial for dermatopathologists to accurately diagnose these variants and to distinguish them from other conditions, such as mycosis fungoides, which can mimic their presentation. The review emphasizes the need for awareness of these adnexal presentations to prevent diagnostic errors.
