Abstract

Purpose: We report a case of trichofolliculoma located in the medial canthal area that was initially clinically suspected to be basal cell carcinoma.Case summary: A 93-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with a 1.2 × 1.4 cm mass in the right medial canthal area that had been present for 8 months. She had experienced continuous bleeding-like secretions during this time, leading to suspicion of basal cell carcinoma due to the absence of hair and a painless central ulcer lesion. Excision and biopsy were performed; the biopsy results revealed trichofolliculoma. The patient underwent complete resection and has remained recurrence-free for 6 months with regular follow-up observations.Conclusions: Trichofolliculoma is a rare follicular hamartoma characterized by a nodule with dilated pores and dense hair in the center. Given its clinical similarity to benign and malignant tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, it is essential to differentiate this condition through excision and biopsy.
内眦区毛囊瘤
目的:我们报告一例位于内侧眦区域的毛滤泡瘤,最初临床怀疑为基底细胞癌。病例总结:一名93岁女性患者因右侧内侧眦区1.2 × 1.4 cm肿物8个月来我院就诊。在此期间,患者出现持续的出血样分泌物,因无毛发和无痛性中枢性溃疡病变,怀疑为基底细胞癌。行切除和活检;活检结果显示毛囊瘤。患者接受了完全切除,并定期随访观察,6个月无复发。结论:毛囊瘤是一种罕见的毛囊错构瘤,其特征是结节状的毛孔扩张,中间有浓密的毛发。鉴于其与基底细胞癌、鳞状细胞癌等良恶性肿瘤的临床相似性,有必要通过手术切除和活检进行鉴别。
