Multiple trichoepithelioma is a dominant hereditary skin conditions whereas solitary trichoepithelioma is not hereditary and is growing tumor, usually seen in adults.
A case of 56 year old housewife with solitary trichoepithelioma was reported. The skin lesion appeased as a. firm, skin colored papule and the size was 0. 5 cm in diameter on right Bide of nose.
Shaving biopsy was done and showed a high degree of differentiation toward hair structure and horn cyst that the keratinization is abrupt and complete.
The methood of treatment is a surgical excision and electrodesiccation but remain a scar due to surgical trauma.
And so, we used a 5-fluorouracil ointment instead of surgical excision and electrodesiccation. The skin lesion on nose was cured completely as a result of 5-FU ointment application without any scar formation cosmetically.
