Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: Trichilemmoma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm that recapitulates the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. Trichilemmomas may occur sporadically or in association with Cowden syndrome, which is characterized by germline mutations in the lipid phosphatase PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10).
