  • Title: Dermoscopic Findings in Trichoblastoma.
    Author: Pitarch G, Botella-Estrada R.
    Journal: Actas Dermosifiliogr; 2015 Nov; 106(9):e45-8. PubMed ID: 26032870.
    Abstract:
    Trichoblastoma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm that is clinically and histologically similar to basal cell carcinoma. We report the dermoscopic features seen in 2 cases of facial trichoblastoma. One case presented with very short, delicate, scarcely branching telangiectases against a pearly white background. In the second case, the veins were also short and scarcely branching, but they were arranged in a crown pattern, with white striae and milia-like cysts. Although dermoscopic evidence of fine, scarcely branching telangiectases is not specific to a diagnosis of trichoblastoma, these features may be useful for differentiating this neoplasm from nodular basal cell carcinoma.
