Abstract

Multiple non-familial Trichoepithelioma is a rare benign adnexal tumour that originates from pilosebaceous follicle. The incidence is predominantly at puberty or early part of childhood. The common sites of occurance of trichoepithelioma are upper lip, forehead, scalp and nose. Trichoepithelioma in young women may lead to cosmetic disfigurement. We report a case of multiple non-familial trichoepithelioma who presented with complaints of multiple skin coloured raised lesions on her face since the age of 15 years.
