Abstract
- A trichilemmal carcinoma is a rare superficial tumor occurring on the sun-exposed regions of older individuals. We examined a 79-year-old female with a large mass located in the right posterolateral aspect of the patient's neck. The MR images showed a central cystic portion with intense peripheral enhancement. The histopathologic examination of the resected specimen revealed a trichilemmal carcinoma. Here, we report the MR findings of the trichilemmal carcinoma in this patient.
