Abstract
- Desmoplastic trichilemmoma is a rare variant of trichilemmoma and usually occurs as small solitary papules on the face. We report a case of desmoplastic trichilemmoma on the right nostril. The histologic findings revealed well-demarcated lobular growth with central desmoplastic stroma. Periphery of the lesion showed the typical feature of trichilemmoma, whereas the center of the lesion was replaced by dense fibrous stroma.
