ABSTRACT

Multiple familial trichoepithelioma is a syndrome whereby tumors can develop from undifferentiated germinative cells of the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit. Although the molecular basis for the tumor has not yet to be determinated, current data suggest that a tumor suppressor gene may be involved. In this autosomal dominant form, patients develop multiple trichoepitheliomas on the face, neck and upper trunk beginning in childhood. We report a case of a patient with multiple familial trichoepithelioma with a family in which members have had the same disease.
