title: Orbital malign trichilemmal tumor with cerebral involvement.
abstract: Proliferating trichilemmal tumor is a rare encountered neoplasm. This neoplasm is usually benign, but it may be locally aggressive. To the best of our knowledge, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of cerebral involvement of this unusual neoplasm have not been described. We report the MR imaging findings of a case of malign proliferating trichilemmal tumor, with cerebral involvement.
