PURPOSE:
To report three cases of giant solitary trichilemmal cyst .
METHODS:
Three male patients aged 56- 60 years sought treatment for a mass in the right upper eyelid. The lesion was excised and examined histopathologically.
RESULTS:
Light microscopy showed a cystic lesion lined by stratified squamous epithelium with a compact layer of eosinophilic keratin without granular cell layer. There was no atypia, mitosis, or stromal invasion.
CONCLUSIONS:
Solitary trichilemmal cyst is rare incomparison to multiple cyst. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of trichilemmal cyst masquerading as Lacrimal Gland Tumor which was managed by surgical excission.
