    TLDR A rare benign skin tumor showed unusual features of sebaceous and sweat glands, important for correct diagnosis.
    The article discussed a case of trichoblastoma, a rare benign skin tumor, which exhibited differentiation into sebaceous and sweat glands. This differentiation is unusual and noteworthy because trichoblastomas typically resemble basal cell carcinomas but are benign. The study highlighted the importance of recognizing these features to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment. The findings were based on clinical and histopathological examinations conducted by the authors from various dermatology and pathology departments in Seoul, Korea.
