Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is a rare but morphologically characteristic tumor, derived from the external root sheath. They are commonly localized as a solitary lesion on the scalp. They rarely occur in other regions. PTTs generally behave in a benign fashion, up to 20% of the lesions may undergo malignant transformation into squamous carcinoma.
