title: Two cases of subcutaneous trichoblastoma.
abstract: This report concerns two Japanese women, 54 and 53 years old, with trichoblastoma. Histopathologically, these neoplasms were mainly composed of follicular germinative cells with fibrotic stroma. One of them was a giant lesion, but the other was small. Because both lesions were located in the subcutis, we termed them subcutaneous trichoblastoma.
