What is trichoblastomas?

Trichoblastoma is a rare type of skin tumor that typically arises from hair follicles. They are usually benign and slow-growing, but in rare cases, they can become cancerous. Trichoblastomas are most commonly found on the face and scalp, and they tend to occur in older individuals. The appearance of trichoblastomas can vary, but they are usually small, round, and flesh-colored or pink. Diagnosis of trichoblastomas is made through a skin biopsy. Treatment options include surgical removal or observation if the tumor is small and not growing rapidly.
