Multiple trichoepithelioma is an uncommon disorder for which treatment is usually bedeviled by the recurrence of tumors. A case of multiple trichoepithelioma is described occurring in the retroauricular area; the condition cleared completely and without relapse following cryotherapy.

A case of trichoblastic carcinoma admixed with histological features of trichoblastoma, trichoepithelioma, and basal cell carcinoma.

Trichoblastic carcinoma, trichoblastoma, trichoepithelioma, and basal cell carcinoma are histologically characterised by basaloid cell proliferation. In this report, we describe the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with trichoblastic carcinoma admixed with histological features of trichoblastoma, trichoepithelioma, and basal cell carcinoma. These tumours may not be situated separately but must be related to each other in terms of tumorigenesis.

Article Synopsis
- The CYLD cutaneous syndrome leads to multiple skin tumors like cylindromas and spiradenomas, primarily affecting the face and head, with more frequent occurrence in women.
- A Colombian family spanning three generations showcased early onset of this syndrome, confirmed by genetic analysis identifying a specific variant in the CYLD gene.
- Understanding the genetic and environmental factors behind the syndrome is vital for developing better treatments and enhancing patient care.

Article Synopsis
- Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is an autosomal dominant condition linked to a gene mutation, leading to the formation of multiple benign skin tumors known as trichoepitheliomas.
- A case study reveals a young female with a previously unknown mutation (c.2501dupC) causing this syndrome, which was confirmed through genetic testing involving her family.
- Despite surgical removal of some tumors using a CO laser, new lesions continued to emerge, suggesting that current treatments are inadequate and highlighting the need for future targeted therapies not currently available.

Background: Multiple trichoepitheliomas are rare benign adnexal tumours that present a unique challenge both to the patient and the managing physician. The multiple nature of the lesion and face being a common location often causes cosmetic concern and psychosocial challenges. Physicians on the other hand face the challenge of providing an ideal treatment with a satisfactory outcome.
