title: Basal cell carcinoma arising in association with desmoplastic trichilemmoma.
abstract: We encountered three cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and one case of an atypical basaloid proliferation best classified as a BCC arising in association with desmoplastic trichilemmomata. Desmoplastic trichilemmoma is a benign tumoral lesion with a pseudomalignant appearance that combines histomorphological features of an infiltrating neoplasm with those of a benign trichilemmoma.
