The presence of abrupt keratinization, minimal pleomorphism, low mitotic activity, sharp circumscription, foci indistinguishable from a trichilemmal cyst, calcification, and absence of a premalignant lesion such as actinic keratosis help to differentiate proliferating trichilemmal tumor from squamous cell carcinoma.[2,6,7] Despite the presence of cytologic atypia and the number of mitoses in some proliferating trichilemmal tumors, they behave as benign lesions.[6]
