Deep learning based histological classification of adnex tumors
Cutaneous adnexal tumors are a diverse group of tumors arising from structures of the hair appendages. Although often benign, malignant entities occur which can metastasize and lead to patients ´ death. Correct diagnosis is critical to ensure optimal treatment and best possible patient outcome. Artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of deep neural networks has recently shown enormous potential in the field of medicine including pathology, where we and others have found common cutaneous tumors can be detected with high sensitivity and specificity.
