Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Brooke Spiegler syndrome is a rare genodermatosis.
  • It is characterized by multiple trichoepitheliomas and cylindromas.
  • Other adnexal tumors like spiradenoma and milia can co-occur.

Observation:

  • Two family cases of Brooke Spiegler syndrome are presented.
  • A 31-year-old woman had facial trichoepitheliomas and scalp cylindromas.
  • Her 37-year-old brother presented with facial trichoepitheliomas and milia.

Findings:

  • Brooke Spiegler syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance.
  • It presents with a family history of trichoepitheliomas and other adnexal tumors.
  • Lesion multiplication is common; malignant transformation is rare but possible.
