background trichoepithelioma is a rare benign skin lesion that originates from hair follicles. trichoepitheliomas are mostly seen in the scalp, nose, forehead, and upper lip. methods we present a large family of iranian origin with 15 individuals affected with multiple familial trichoepithelioma in four generations, and treated with three different methods. results trichoepithelioma is histolog...

Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a rare benign adnexal tumor. Although it is a benign lesion, patients often want to treat it due to cosmetic concerns when it occurs in an easily visible site. For our two cases, topical 5% imiquimod was an attractive treatment option as it is applied by the patients themselves and it has minimal side effects, including leaving no scar. However, the lesions rec...

Trichoepitheliomas are uncommon benign adnexal neoplasms that originate from the hair follicles. Multiple familial trichoepithelioma constitute an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the appearance of multiple flesh-colored, symmetrical papules, tumors and/or nodules in the central face and occasionally on the scalp. Although clinical diagnosis is usually straightforward in light of the...

Trichoepithelioma is a benign tumor of follicular unit. It has been rarely described as the cause of leonine facies. We are presenting a classical case of multiple familial trichoepitheliomas (MFTs) with characteristic histopathological features leading to leonine facies.

Spiradenoma & cylindroma are relatively uncommon sweat gland tumors. These lesions along with trichoepithelioma can co-exist and this gives support to the theory that they are part of the same spectrum and have a similar derivation.They can occur as separate lesions or within a single tumor mass as collision tumors.Here we report a case of a 67 year old female who presented with multiple papulo...

Trichoepithelioma is a benign skin tumor and is most commonly found on the face, however, there are few reports about its occurrence on the eyelids. It is not usually recognized because of its rarity, origin, biological potential, and controversial classification. The purpose of this paper is to report two cases of solitary trichoepithelioma on the eyelid, their histopathology and treatment. Th...
