A rare case of Periocular Desmoplastic Trichoepithelioma
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.
