SOLITARY TRICHOEPITHELIOMA– A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE An 80-year old man presented to our outpatient department with a solitary swelling on the lateral aspect of his right lower lid. The swelling had appeared 5 years ago and was progressively increasing in size and attained the present dimension of 2.0 x 1.0 centimeters. It was raised and firm in consistency with well-defined borders. There was no evidence of ulceration or intraepithelial erosion. The conjunctiva appeared uninvolved. The patient was otherwise healthy and there was no family history of skin lesions. The visual acuity was 6/24 in both eyes. Due to its blemishing appearance, the patient wished to have the tumour removed. It was excised with a small oval incision and primarily closed.
