A Case of Proliferation Trichilemmal Tumor Unusually Occurring on the lnguinal Area
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Proliferating trichilemmal tumor is a relatively uncommon tumor which develops preferentially as a solitary tumor on the scalp of elderly women. Histologically, the tumor represents a proliferation of the outer root sheath epithelium in a
characteristic
pattern, but the presense of cellular atypia, dyskeratotic cells and mitotic figures may lead to a false impression of squamous cell carcinoma.
We report a case of proliferating trichliemmal tumor in a 70-year-old male who presented with a slowly growing tumor on his right inguinal area for 2 years.
This case is unusual in that the tumor occurred on the inguinal area other than the scalp in a male. (Kor J Dermatol 1993 ; 31(3) : 434-438)
