ABSTRACT
Proliferating trichilemmal tumor is a rare benign tumor of skin appendage. It is usually solitary, more common in women after the fourth decade of life, and almost exclusively confined to the scalp and back of the neck. We report herein an unusual case of proliferating trchilemmal tumor which occurred on the knee.

Prepatellar bursitis usually arise from repetitive stimulation, trauma, inflammatory disease, infection and so on. Although prepatellar bursitis is common, there has been no reported case that caused by Aspergillosis. A chronic prepatellar bursitis case was referred to us after management with conventional methods for a long time. We managed this case with surgical excision and biopsy revealed that the bursitis was caused by Aspergillosis. It is thought that when a prepatellar bursitis does not respond to treatments, fungal infection such as Aspergillosis should be suspected.
