Proliferating trichilemmal (pilar) cysts, also known as pilar tumors, are most commonly found on the scalp of elderly women. Proliferating trichilemmal cysts are rare, slowly growing, lobular masses inherited autosomal dominantly and localized on scalps, and believed to arise due to a complication of a trauma and inflammation, and 5-10% of people are reported to be effected. Herein, we present the case of a 70-year-old woman with a 23-year history of multiple enlarging scalp masses. Clinically, squamous cell carcinoma was considered in the differential diagnosis, and the lesion was totally excised. Our case emphasizes the necessity for detailed clinical and pathological correlation for differential diagnosis.
增殖性毛鞘囊肿（毛母质瘤），又称毛母质瘤，最常见于老年女性的头皮。增殖性毛鞘囊肿罕见，生长缓慢，呈小叶状，常染色体显性遗传，局限于头皮，据信是由于创伤和炎症的并发症引起的，据报道有 5-10%的人受到影响。在此，我们报告了一例 70 岁女性，有 23 年多发性头皮肿块增大病史。临床上，需考虑鳞状细胞癌进行鉴别诊断，并进行了病变的完全切除。我们的病例强调了详细的临床和病理相关性对鉴别诊断的必要性。
