Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor Presenting as a Scrotal Mass in a Middle-Aged Male: An Uncommon Location

The document reported the first case of a middle-aged male with a scrotal mass identified as a proliferating trichilemmal tumor, a benign neoplasm originating from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. This tumor can closely mimic squamous cell carcinoma, making accurate diagnosis crucial due to the differing prognoses and treatment strategies. The case highlighted the importance of distinguishing between these conditions to ensure appropriate patient management, given the wide-ranging medical, social, and psychological implications of scrotal masses.
