Sumario:Trichoblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant hair follicle tumor. It resembles basal cell carcinoma clinically, but different studies emphasize on the importance of differentiating between these two cancers since they have different clinical course which may affect treatment options and follow up.

We presented the third case of pinna trichoblastic carcinoma, which was surgically excised and followed up for two years post-surgery.
