Trichoblastoma, also known as trichoepithelioma, is an uncommon skin tumour.
Trichoepithelioma is considered a superficial version of trichoblastoma; the World Health Organization lumps the two entities together.[1]
General
- Benign.
- Maligant counterpart of trichoepithelioma: trichilemmal carcinoma.
- May be familial:
- Multiple familial trichoepithelioma.[2]
- Brooke-Spiegler syndrome.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Well-circumscribed cell nest in the superficial dermis.
- Surrounding by a fibrous stroma.
- Basaloid cells with peripheral palisading.
- +/-Surround keratin-filled cysts.
- Fibroblasts-like cell aggregate, similar to a follicular papillae (papillary-mesenchymal body).
Notes:
- Very rarely an artefactual cleft - as in basal cell carcinoma.
Variants:
- Desmoplastic trichoblastoma.
DDx:
- Basal cell carcinoma - usu. mitoses, myxoid stroma and no papillary-mesenchymal bodies.
- Dermal cylindroma - has hyaline stroma.
- Trichofolliculoma.
- Sebaceous carcinoma, well-differentiated - has some cells with clear vacuolated cytoplasm.
- Microcystic adnexal carcinoma - esp. desmoplastic trichoblastoma.

SKIN LESION, NOSE, BIOPSY: - TRICHOBLASTOMA, COMPLETELY EXCISED.
Micro
The sections show well-circumscribed dermal nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading surrounded by a dense fibrous stroma. There is no artefactual clefting between the stroma and basaloid cell nests. Mitotic activity is minimal. Smaller hyperchromatic spindled-to-epithelioid cells in clusters (papillary-mesenchymal bodies) are found within the basaloid cells nests.
The epidermis show maturation to the surface and does not have basal atypia.
The lesion is completely excised in the plane of section.
