Abstract
Trichoepitheliomas commonly appear as sporadic solitary lesions or, mo re rarely, as multiple lesions that are often dominantly inherited. We describe an 8-year-old boy with multiple facial papules that coalesce d into a large plaque. This presentation of multiple trichoepithelioma s may represent an unusual type of nevus.
