b

There were no cases of the following cutaneous adnexal cancers: malignant eccrine spiradenoma, ceruminous adenocarcinoma, trichilemmocarcinoma, malignant pilar tumor, and pilomatrix carcinoma.

c

There were no cases of the following cutaneous sarcomas: clear cell sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, liposarcoma, and angiomyoliposarcoma.
