ABSTRACT

We report a case of trichilemmal carcinoma in a 82-year-old man who presented an ulcerative tumor. Initially, a crusted mass was observed on the scalp and with subsequent removal of the crust, purulent and ulcerative lesion was seen. After treatment with sensitive antibiotics for 8 days, purulent discharge was markedly decreased in the lesion. Histopathologic findings showed clear cells tumor with trichilemmal keratinization. The tumor cells stained positive to PAS, sensitive to diastase and showed negative findings to CEA, EMA and S-100.
