Proliferating tricholemmal tumors (PTTs) are rare benign neoplasms that arise from the outer sheath of a hair follicle. Occasionally, these PTTs undergo malignant transformation to become malignant proliferating tricholemmal tumors (MPTTs). Little is known about the molecular alterations, malignant progression, and management of MPTTs. Here, we describe the case of a 58-year-old female that had a widely metastatic MPTT that harbored an activating PIK3CA mutation and was sensitive to the PI3K inhibitor, alpelisib (BYL719). We review the available literature on metastatic MPTT, detail the patient's course, and present a whole genome analysis of this rare tumor.
