Abstract
Tricholemmoma is a benign follicular tumor with differentiation towards cells of the outer hair root sheath and usually presents as a small papule on the face in middle-aged or older people. We herein report a case of solitary tricholemmoma located in the lateral right thigh, which shows the appearance of infiltrated plaque. Histopathologic examination is confirmed the diagnosis of tricholemmoma.
