Abstract
A case of giant solitary trichoepithelioma of the perianal region is described. Following excision the lesion recurred with a similar histological appearance. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of recurrence of such a lesion. Tatnall and Wilson Jones1 described three cases of very large trichoepitheliomas occurring in the perianal region as solitary lesions. They reported the successful excision of these lesions and commented, in one case, that there was no recurrence. In the present report we describe a further case of solitary giant trichoepithelioma of the perianal region that was excised and which recurred 17 years later.
