A rare case of Periocular Desmoplastic Trichoepithelioma

Aunton Gnana Wilfer, Usha Kim .

Abstract


Trichoepitheliomas are benign cutaneous neoplasms

derived from the hair follicle. Three distinctive variants of

Trichoepithelioma are recognized: Solitary, Multiple and

Desmoplastic. Desmoplastic are rare benign adnexal

tumour that is derived from basal cells in the outer root

sheath of the hair follicle. It is also known as Sclerosing

Epithelial Hamartoma. Incidence wise is1 in 5,000 of the

occurrence of the disease noted so far. 85% female

predominance had been reported. It mimics Basal Cell

Carcinoma.
