Abstract

Trichoblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant hair follicle tumor. It resembles basal cell carcinoma clinically. However, various studies have emphasized the importance of differentiating between these two cancers since they have a different clinical course, which may affect treatment options and subsequent follow-up plans. Despite its aggressive behavior, there is a lack of uniform consensus on the treatment. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with trichoblastoma with focal transformation to low-grade trichoblastic carcinoma. This patient underwent surgical excision of the carcinoma, followed by adjuvant radiation therapy in view of residual disease. The patient was disease-free for 3 years. The intent of reporting this case is to help oncologists recognize similar cases and consequently plan the treatment in a way to improve the survival of these patients.

毛原细胞癌:一个警示故事
毛母细胞癌是一种罕见的恶性毛囊肿瘤。临床类似基底细胞癌。然而,各种研究都强调了区分这两种癌症的重要性,因为它们具有不同的临床病程,这可能会影响治疗方案和随后的随访计划。尽管它具有攻击性,但在治疗上缺乏统一的共识。我们报告一例65岁女性毛母细胞瘤局灶性转化为低级别毛母细胞癌。该患者接受了手术切除癌,然后进行了辅助放射治疗,以观察残留的疾病。病人三年无病。报告这个病例的目的是帮助肿瘤学家识别类似的病例,从而制定治疗计划,以提高这些患者的生存率。
