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.
