title: Multiple familial trichoepitheliomas.
abstract: We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with multiple familial trichoepitheliomas, characterized by the presence of many small tumors occurring predominantly on the face. This condition constitutes a genodermatosis that follows an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. These lesions can lead to marked facial disfigurement, and treatment is generally disappointing.
