Clinical, Histopathological, and Management Challenges of Multiple Familial Trichoepithelioma: A Case Report of a Patient Presenting with Multiple Facial Papules

الملخص EN

Trichoepitheliomas (TE) are benign skin tumours of the pilosebaceous apocrine unit with follicular differentiation.

Multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT) is a considerably rare condition inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

We present a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with multiple papulo-nodular lesions in the central face and a family history of a similar type of lesions from his mother.

Significance of consideration of various clinical differential diagnoses with serious pathological outcomes, strategies followed in the diagnosis including histopathological evaluation aided by immunohistochemical investigations, and subsequent challenges that may be faced in the management of MFT in light of the presentation with multiple facial papules are documented in this case report.
