Abstract

The trichilemmal proliferating cyst is a member of the group of adnexal tumors arising from the hair follicle, more specifically from the isthmic trichilemmal segment of the external epithelial sheath of the hair follicle. It is most often located on the head and neck, but case reports of extracephalic localization are described in the literature. We report a case of a proliferating trichilemmal cyst on the back, where the diagnosis was made after the anatomopathological study of the excised specimen.
