Desmoplastic Trichoepithelioma

Abstract

Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, a tumor of hair follicle, is usually seen as solitary lesions. Its clinical configuration is hard and annular, asympromatic, white or yellowish and varied in size from 3 to 8 mm, but the appearance of these lesion is not so distinctive to hair follicle tumors that the diagnosis is estabilished by the histopathologic findings. Microscopical findings of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma consist of narrow strands of tumor cells, horn cyst, desmoplastic stroma. We present here a case of desmoplastic trichoepitheliorna, which develops as 6 mm sised papule on the left cheek in a 57-year-old woman.
