region. Nonetheless, a considerable percentage of positive tests revealed a dermatophyte infection. In our clinical practice, tinea corporis is not one of the most common trunk dermatoses, but it should be kept in mind that old age, along with an immunocompromised status, represents a predisposing factor. 2 Our results provide for a real-life perspective in a particular poorly studied age group, the elderly patients. Our study, in line with literature and demographic data, allows us to have a match with the routine daily practice and makes us remember the fundamental clinical aspects with an everyday increasing aging population.
Editor, Trichoepithelioma is a benign adnexal tumour which can be broadly classified as familial multiple type or nonfamilial solitary type. 1 Nonfamilial cases of multiple trichoepithelioma have been scarcely reported in the literature. [2][3][4] Our case stands out because of this rare sporadic presentation along with associated features of lupus nephritis and alopecia areata.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
