Abstract

Proliferating trichilemmal tumor is a rare tumor of external root sheath of hair follicles, originating mainly from the scalp of middle-aged females. Grossly and microscopically, it mimics squamous cell carcinoma; hence, it is important to understand the cytological as well as histological features of this tumor diligently. In addition, there are no standard guidelines present for the treatment of these tumors and recurrence is not uncommon which make its management a challenge. Here we are reporting a case of a 65-year-old woman with proliferating trichilemmal tumor in a form of an ulcerated lobulated mass on her occipital area of the scalp.

期刊介绍： Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
