Abstract

The Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is a rare skin adnexal malignant tumor that develops from the outer root sheath of hair follicles or most often from a trichilemmal cyst, after multiple trauma and / or iterative inflammations. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who consulted for a scalp tumor, evolving progressively for 2 years.

Keywords: Trichilemmal carcinoma; Malignant; Scalp
