    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Proliferating trichilemmal tumors (PTTs) are rare benign neoplasms originating from the outer root sheath of hair follicles.
    • PTTs predominantly affect elderly women and typically present as solitary lesions on the scalp.

    Observation:

    • A case study of a 71-year-old woman with a rapidly developing PTT over two years.
    • The patient presented with a large cornu cutaneum on the parietal scalp.

    Findings:

    • The clinical and histopathological features of PTT can be easily confused with squamous cell carcinoma.
    • This emphasizes the need for careful diagnostic evaluation.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of PTT is crucial to avoid misclassification as malignancy.
  • Understanding PTT's presentation aids in appropriate clinical management and patient care.
