title: A combined case of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma and nevus cell nevus.
abstract: A 41-year-old woman with desmoplastic trichoepithelioma associated with pigmented nevus presented. Pigmented nevus had been present on her face at birth. She had received cryotherapy and dermabrasion at a small part of the pigmented nevus. As a result of the therapy, the discoloration disappeared. The lesion lately increased and became hard. Histologically, the lesion was composed of two distinctive but intimately mixed cellular components;  nevus cells and basaloid cells. In the pigmented lesion, basaloid cells were not present. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma associated with nevocellular nevus in Japan.
