Article Synopsis
  • Trichilemmomas are benign skin tumors that originate from the outer sheath of hair follicles, while nevus sebaceous (NS) is a congenital skin abnormality that can lead to the development of other skin growths, both benign and sometimes malignant.
  • A case involving a 36-year-old male showed a pigmented desmoplastic trichilemmoma (DT) that appeared similar to a pigmented basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and was successfully removed.
  • It’s important to conduct a histological evaluation to differentiate between pigmented DT and BCC, as they can look alike in clinical examinations.

The first morphologic variant of CCA was reported as a "giant form of the acanthoma of Degos" which measured 45 × 40 mm, about twice the size of the largest CCA documented earlier. Since then, many variants of CCA have been described, including polypoid, pigmented and atypical.
