The cytology of giant solitary trichoepitheliomaKeywords: Giant solitary trichoepithelioma, basal cell carcinoma, microcystic adnexal carcinoma, trichoblastoma, FNAC. Abstract: Giant solitary trichoepithelioma (GST) is a rare trichogenic tumor, which may present as a pigmented lesion. An 80-year-old man was diagnosed to have giant solitary trichoepithelioma on fine-needle aspiration cytology. The cytological findings represented the histological features. The recognition of GST is important because of its close resemblance to basal cell carcinoma and other skin adnexal tumors - clinically, cytologically and histologically.
