Abstract
Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is a scarce tumor of exterior root sheath that appears to grow within the wall of a pre-existing pilar cyst in most cases. This report presents a case of malignant PTT in the posterior sacrum of a 33-year-old man presenting with limited mobility and a history of paraplegia.
