| Abstract | ||
| a proliferating pilar tumor (PPT) is a rare neoplasm arising from the isthmus region of the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. It is also commonly called a proliferating trichilemmal cyst. It was first described by Wilson-Jones as a proliferating epidermoid cyst in 1966. PPT was then distinguished from proliferating epidermoid cysts in 1995. It occurs most commonly on the scalp of middle age women. Most tumors arise within a preexisting pilar cyst. Even though they usually are benign in nature, malignant transformation with local invasion and metastasis has been described. They may be inherited in an autosomal-dominant mode, linked to chromosome 3. Aim of study is to report case of proliferating trichilemmal tumor. | ||
