GlossaryTrichoblastoma

rare benign tumor from hair follicle cells

Trichoblastoma is a rare, benign skin tumor that originates from the hair follicle cells. It typically appears as a small, slow-growing nodule on the scalp or face and is composed of cells that resemble the primitive hair matrix, making it important for dermatologists to distinguish it from more aggressive skin cancers.
