[Anatomoclinical and dermatoscopic study of trichoadenoma].
DISCUSSION: Trichoadenoma is a rare tumour seen in middle-aged adults of mean age 45 years, and has no sexual predominance. It is asymptomatic, slow-growing, variable in colour, measures less than one centimeter and is most often located on the face or buttocks. In terms of histology, the juxtaposition of multiple small cystic structures suggests a follicular origin. Differential diagnosis is made with trichoblastomas, which always intensely express PHLDA1 and/or Ber-EP4, desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, which consists of multiple much thinner spans in a highly fibrous stroma with clearly visible arborescent vessels over a white-yellow ivory background at dermatoscopy, microcystic carcinoma, which has a deeper extension, and plaque milium, in which the cysts are larger.
