Abstract
- Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a rare benign tumor which is most commonly found on the face of young females. The tumor has a raised, annular border and a depressed center. The histologic features are often confused with other skin diseases, especially with microcystic adnexal carcinoma. We report, herein, a case of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma in a 26-year-old man, confirmed by re-biopsy and CEA immunohistochemical study.
