BACKGROUND Trichodiscoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the pilosebaceous system. METHODS An 83-year-old man had a past history of adenomatous polyps of the colon. The subject's brother had died from cancer of the colon. Over the past 4 years, the patient had developed approximately 30 small asymptomatic papulonodular tumors on the trunk. Skin biopsy demonstrated trichodiscomas. CONCLUSIONS Together with fibrofolliculomas and perifollicular fibromas, trichodiscomas are benign tumors of the pilosebaceous system. These different tumors may occur simultaneously as in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome which associates trichodiscoma and familial colonic polyposis. This combination has only been reported in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome or with perifollicular fibromas. CONCLUSIONS This case suggests that patients with hamartomas of the pilosebaceous system should undergo explorations in search for digestive tract polyposis.
