초록
Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a rare benign adnexal tumor. Although it is a benign lesion, patients often want to treat it due to cosmetic concerns when it occurs in an easily visible site. For our two cases, topical 5% imiquimod was an attractive treatment option as it is applied by the patients themselves and it has minimal side effects, including leaving no scar. However, the lesions recurred after clinical remission. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only report on utilizing imiquimod to treat a benign adnexal tumor, and especially desmoplastic trichoepithelioma. (Ann Dermatol 23(2) 229∼231, 2011)
