ABSTRACT

Trichoepithelioma is a benign hamartomatous tumor of the pilosebaceous follicle that may occur either as a nonhereditary solitary lesion or as multiple lesions that are often dominantly inherited. The gene for multiple trichoepitheliomas (MTs) has been mapped to a locus 9p21. The exact prevalence is unknown. They most commonly appear in early childhood or at puberty. The molecular basis for the tumor has not yet to be determinated, current data suggest that a tumor suppressor gene may be involved. We report a case of a patient with multiple familial trichoepithelioma.
