Multiple Familial Trichoepithelioma Successfully Treated With CO2 Laser and Imiquimod.

Abstract

A 33-year-old woman presented with more than 100 flesh-colored papules and nodules centrally located on the face (Figure 1). Since their first appearance at the age of 7, the lesions had increased in number and spread laterally from the nasolabial folds. She underwent surgical removal at age 10 with recurrence afterward. Her mother, maternal grandmother, and maternal great aunt have similar lesions on the face. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of trichoepitheliomas and multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT).
