Abstract

A 60-year-old black man, working in construction sector, was referred to dermatology clinic for having multiple hardened and asymptomatic tumors on the scalp, face, and trunk for more than 40 years. There was a progressive increase in the number and size of lesions, causing significant aesthetic and functional impairment. In his family history, a son had numerous normochromic papules on the centrofacial region with a diagnosis of multiple trichoepithelioma. The deceased mother of our patient presented lesions similar to those of her grandson but without a confirmatory diagnosis. (SKINmed. 2023;21:47-50).
