Just to widen the differential, I think follicular induction changes overlying a nevus should be considered in the differential. I think we see connection of the basaloid structures to the overlying epidermis and as the authors discuss in their article, this overrules the diagnosis of trichoepithelioma.

Nice possibility Raul!

Thanks for the paper but does this include papillary mesenchymal body formation? I think we have one in figure 4.

Yes Mona, they do mention PMB should not be present. But I do think the changes here are rather subtle for TE. I must confess that I am not a supporter of diagnosing concurrent/collision tumors but rather trying first to discard a common etiology to what seems to be multiple and hazardous.

Dear All thank you for your comments. The final diagnosis was IDN with a trichoepithelioma. I would be interested why some use the term trichoblastoma for this case ? For the reasons stated above (PMBs) we did not call this follicular induction although I agree with Raul's point!

On Dr. Iskander’s query, I use no more the term trichoepithelioma since the WHO Classification of Skin Tumors have followed the nomenclature proposed by Dr. Ackerman, in which trichoblastoma is every adnexal cutaneous tumor with differentiation toward both follicular germinative epithelium and specific follicular stroma. Trichoepithelioma is merely a synonym for some microscopic variants of trichoblastoma.
