Abstract
In this report, we present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a 30-year history of multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT), with facial surface tumors that progressively worsened, causing ventilation disorders. In order to improve the patient’s appearance and functional impairment, we performed a two-step surgical excision and skin grafting procedure post diagnosis through genetic testing. The 18-month follow-up confirmed that the effect was satisfactory without obvious recurrence. Based on this outcome, we have developed a diagnosis and treatment process for patients with MFT, aiming to provide a reference for standardized treatment of this rare disease.
