A kindred with familial multiple desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas is described. Desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas should be added to the group of lesions that indicate an inherited pattern when they occur as multiple primary tumors. The implications for nosologic status and treatment of desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas are considered.

Article Synopsis
- Infiltrative basal cell carcinoma (iBCC) and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) can occur together in the same skin lesion, which is a rare situation.
- While iBCCs are common malignant tumors that can cause local damage and have a chance of recurring, DTEs are benign tumors that develop from hair follicles and can appear similar to iBCCs.
- A case study of a 36-year-old woman with a cheek lesion containing both an iBCC and a DTE highlights the need to differentiate between these tumors due to their differing risks, along with a literature review pointing out the rarity of such combined tumors and possible genetic connections.

Article Synopsis
- Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) is a rare benign skin tumor that can look like malignant conditions, making diagnosis challenging.
- A systematic review of 338 DTE cases highlighted that Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) showed a 0% recurrence rate, significantly outperforming other treatments like standard excision (13.1% recurrence) and electrosurgery (2.1%).
- The findings suggest that MMS is the best option for treating DTEs, especially since these tumors are often located in sensitive cosmetic areas.
