ABSTRACT

The following case report is about an 87 year old male that develops a solid mass on his left shoulder 6 months prior to his visit to the doctor’s office. The mass is nodular, non-ulcerated, pigmented, subcutaneous, and solid. It is studied with sonography, revealing an articular origin. An excisional biopsy is performed and the histopathological study shows a trichilemmal cyst, completely removed. The trichilemmal cyst is a solid mass arising from the external sheath of the hair follicle.
