TLDR Trichofolliculoma has specific cytokeratin patterns that help in its diagnosis.
The document presented a case report on trichofolliculoma, a rare benign hair follicle tumor, and included an immunohistochemical study focusing on cytokeratins. The study was conducted by a team from various departments in Japan, including dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and pathology. The findings highlighted the specific expression patterns of cytokeratins in trichofolliculoma, contributing to a better understanding of its histopathological characteristics. This research provided valuable insights into the diagnosis and differentiation of trichofolliculoma from other skin lesions.
