DAVANCO, Rodrigo C; J NETO, Domingos; MILANEZ, Carolina B    TEBCHERAN, António J. Trichilemmal Horn: A Case Report. []. , 79, 4, pp.54-56.   01--2022. ISSN 2182-2395.  https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.4.1383.

Trichilemmal horn or trichilemmal keratosis is a benign neoplasm, that occurs more frequently in females and in the age group over 50 years old. Clinically, it presents as a cutaneous horn and histologically shows trichilemmal keratinization at the base of the lesion.

As an uncommon pathology, in this case report, we will present the case of a young man (14 years old), presenting a keratotic lesion on the forehead for eight months, which revealed the diagnosis of trichilemmal horn after lesion exeresis and anatomopathological analysis.
