Abstract

Cutaneous micrographic surgery (CMS) is a highly effective method of treating cutaneous malignancy. With high cure rates and conservative removal of normal tissue. CMS is the treatment of choice for cutaneous malignancies that are difficult to treat. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas that are large, recurrent, or in high-risk locations; that have unfavorable histologies; or that have been treated previously with other modalities should be considered for treatment with CMS.

Malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.

Trichoblastoma is an uncommon benign cutaneous neoplasm of the hair germ cell. The pigmented variety of the tumor is rare. There have only been a few case reports describing the malignant counterpart of trichoblastoma. There are no reports describing a pigmented variety of malignant trichoblastoma. We are presenting a case report of a 47-year-old patient with malignant trichoblastoma containing melanin deposits and propose to define this variety of the tumor as a separate entity: malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.
