Reported here is the first case of a malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumor treated with radical radiotherapy. Complete clinical response was achieved, and this obviated the need for aggressive surgery. These tumors have a tendency to develop in older patients, and have a propensity for affecting women more than men. The standard of treatment is surgical excision with a margin of normal tissue. Given that not all patients are good surgical candidates, the role of different treatment modalities in the management of this tumor is discussed.
本文报道了首例采用根治性放疗治疗的恶性增殖性外毛根鞘瘤病例。实现了完全临床缓解，从而无需进行激进手术。这些肿瘤倾向于在老年患者中发生，且女性比男性更易受影响。治疗标准是切除肿瘤并保留正常组织边缘。鉴于并非所有患者都是手术的合适人选，本文讨论了不同治疗方式在该肿瘤治疗中的作用。
