چکیده
Trichoepithelioma (TE) is a benign skin neoplasm derived from the hair follicle. It is commonly located on the face and hairy skin. Malignant transformation is quite rare. TE affects adults and more frequently women. The most common presentations are noted in the 4th decade [1]. There are three variants of TE: solitary TE, multiple TE and desmoplastic TE [2-4]. The solitary TE is non-familial. The multiple TE is familial. The gene for the development of familial trichoepithelioma encodes of chromosome 9 [5]. We report a rare and interesting case of solitary trichoepithelioma (sTE) treated with carbon dioxide laser.
