Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate diagnosis of Trichilemmal carcinoma scalp with clinico-radiological and
pathological correlation.
Introduction: Trichilemmal carcinoma is a rare slow growing malignant adnexal tumour that
originates from the external hair sheath of hair follicle accounting for <0.005% of adnexal carcinoma 1
.
It mimics squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma. Rarity, indolent
clinical course inspite of local aggressiveness and a good survival rate post excision further undermine
the importance of this unique entity.
Herewith, we are reporting a case of recurrent trichilemmal carcinoma of scalp presented to the
outpatient department of Radiation Oncology at our institute
