SUMMARY A patient with multiple hamartomas developed severe disfiguring trichoepitheliomas on her face. Some years later she developed multiple basal cell carcinomas. The occurrence of trichoepitheliomas with multiple hamartoma syndrome has not previously been reported. This patient with trichoepitheliomas developed undoubted basal cell carcinomas without the other major features of basal cell naevus syndrome. There do, however, appear to be some similarities between basal cell naevus syndrome and multiple hamartoma syndrome and this issue is addressed.
