Short Communication: Trichoadenoma of Nikolowski

Sir, trichoadenoma is a rare benign, slowly growing, cutaneous tumor of the hair follicle first described by Nikolowsky in 1958. The tumor is less mature than a trichofolliculoma and is more differentiated than a trichoepithelioma with a differentiation towards the infundibular portion of the pilosebaceous canal.1 We report a case of trichoadenoma on the nose which was clinically diagnosed as solitary trichoepithelioma.
