[Eyelid trichoepithelioma--report of 2 cases].
Trichoepithelioma is a benign skin tumor and is most commonly found on the face, however, there are few reports about its occurrence on the eyelids. It is not usually recognized because of its rarity, origin, biological potential, and controversial classification. The purpose of this paper is to report two cases of solitary trichoepithelioma on the eyelid, their histopathology and treatment. This lesion should be considered when a single solid nodule on the face appears, and can be differentiated from basal-cell carcinoma. Histopathologic confirmation is essential.
