Subtle clinical and distinctive histologic features may characterize these superficial cutaneous tumors. Their significance resides in the association with Cowden disease and the need to differentiate trichilemmomas from other more aggressive cutaneous tumors. Clinically, trichilemmomas present as smooth, asymptomatic papules or verrucoid growths. They may occur as a solitary lesion or as multiple lesions, and they are usually found on the face (see Image 1 ). These lesions often mimic a basal cell carcinoma or a wart. Trichilemmoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any indistinct facial papule. Differentiation from a basal cell carcinoma or a trichilemmal carcinoma is needed for appropriate patient management. Trichilemmomas are often reported in association with a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn. When many trichilemmomas are present, Cowden disease (multiple hamartoma syndrome) should be suspected. The diagnosis of trichilemmoma is usually obtained by microscopic examination, revealing distinct histologic features.

Extractions: hypertrichosis table Home Forums Privacy Advertising ... Home On this page... Introduction The tables below records disorders known to involve hypertrichosis. The first table lists disorders where hypertrichosis is a primary symptom. The second table lists disorders where hypertrichosis can be one of several symptoms. Typically the other symptoms are of greater concern and health/life threatening. The clinical distinction between hypertrichosis and hirsutism is that hypertrichosis involves hair growth on any hair bearing area of skin. The excess hair growth may induced by a wide variety of environmental or genetic factors. Hirsutism is the growth of hair in a secondary sexual characteristic pattern. In women hirsutism involves unwanted excess hair limited to regions including the mustache, beard, chest and/or escutcheon areas. Hirsutism is typically induced by hormonal imbalance, especially androgen excess. This is not necessarily a complete list of disorders involving hypertrichosis. Links to relevant web pages on the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) web database are also given where possible.
