title: Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus induced by radiotherapy.
abstract: Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FEP) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm. Evidence supports classification as a variant of either basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or trichoblastoma. Reports of FEP arising in sites of preceding radiation therapy have been documented in the literature, but the relationship between radiotherapy and the development of FEP has not yet been defined. We report a case of FEP following radiation therapy for testicular cancer.
