Abstract (2. Language):
Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (or cyst) is an uncommon skin lesion arising from the hair follicle. It usuallay
occurs as a solitary nodule on the scalp of older women. Although these lesions are generally benign, a few cases of
malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumors, local recurrences and metastasis have been reported. We present a 57
year old patient who had multiple proliferative trichilemmal cysts with overlying skin ulceration on her scalp.
Excisional biopsy of the masses was performed and the histopathological findings showed that it was a malignant
proliferating trichilemmal tumor. Because of the surgical margin of the specimen was not free of tumor, re-excision
was performed and remaining defect was repaired with skin graft.
