Abstract:
Multiple trichoepithelioma is an autosomal dominant skin disease characterized by the presence of many small papules predominantly on the face. A 12-year-old brother and a 10-year-old sister had small, round, skin-colored papules around the nose for 3~4 years. On history taking, there was no family member with similar skin lesions. Histopathologic study showed typical findings of trichoepithelioma that were basophilic basaloid tumor islands, horn cyst, fibroblastic stroma, and papillary mesenchymal bodies. The lesions were treated with CO2 laser. We experienced and report uncommon and interesting cases of multiple trichoepithelioma in a brother and sister.
