[Adnexal neoplasms in the context of skin cancer: trichilemmal carcinoma. Apropos of a case].

Background: The trichilemmal carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, whose origin lies in the annexes of the skin, because of its low prevalence often confused with other dermal tumors, the differential diagnosis is not easy and is usually made by exclusion; in theory, its behavior is slow with little tendency to send both regional lymph node metastasis and systemic. Due to the limited number of cases there is no consensus on the prognosis, although it is generally considered good. The aim of this report is to show a case that, contrary to previous reports, the clinical presentation is aggressive with large soft tissue tumor infiltration around the site of origin in a patient without risk factors for skin cancer.
