title: Multiple Familial Trichoepithelioma with an Adjacent Basal Cell Carcinoma, Transformation or Collision - A Case Report and Review of Literature.
abstract: Trichoepithelioma is a benign tumor of follicular origin that presents as small, skin-colored papules predominantly on the face. When more than one family member is affected, the disease is known as multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT). It is a rare autosomal dominant skin disease. Malignant transformation is very rare. We describe here a case that developed malignant neoplasm in a setting of multiple trichoepithelioma.
