Trichoepitheliomas are benign tumors of follicular origin and often appear in childhood or early adolescence. They present as small, firm papulonodular lesions of normal skin color or translucent. The lesions gradually increase in size and then stabilize. They sit electively on the face, mainly in the nasolabial folds, on the forehead, chin, and cheeks, and sometimes on the scalp and neck. Trichoepitheliomas can be divided into three subgroups: multiple familial Trichoepitheliomas, solitary non-hereditary Trichoepitheliomas, and desmoplastic Trichoepitheliomas. Nonfamilial multiple trichoepitheliomas are rarely described. We report a case of a 12-year-old child whose clinical history and clinicopathologic correlation allowed us to retain the diagnosis of multiple non-familial trichoepitheliomas.
