Pinkus tumour: an unusual case.
Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus is a rare cutaneous tumour. Its classification is controversial and is considered as a variant of either basal cell carcinoma or trichoblastoma. Its presentation as a multiple tumour is rare. We are reporting such a case occurring in a 55-year-old man presenting with multiple seborrheic keratosis-like lesions corresponding histologically to Pinkus tumours. The clinical diagnosis of Pinkus tumour represents a challenge. Histological examination is extremely useful in aiding in the diagnosis of difficult cases.
