Invasive tricholemmal carcinoma of the nose.
Tricholemmal carcinoma is a rare entity. It must be distinguished from the benign proliferating variant of the tricholemmal cyst. We report a case of tricholemmal carcinoma massively invading the nose. The neoplasm was excised surgically with a satisfactory outcome.
