Abstract
Trichoepithelioma is a benign neoformation with hair follicle differentiation that may clinically present in solitary, multiple or desmoplastic form. From a histopathological standpoint, it poses some diagnostic difficulties with basal cell carcinoma. We present two cases of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, a rare adnexal tumor whose incidence is estimated at 2 per 10,000. Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a benign lesion, clinically and histologically similar to other dermatoses, and presents a true diagnostic challenge.
