Popis: Summary: The pilar cyst or trichilemmal is a benign tumour of the skin appendages. This tumour develops on the isthmic part of the pilar follicle and is characterised histologically by trichilemmal keratinisation. We report a case of bilateral giant temporal trichilemmal cysts with a giant occipital lipoma. Observation: This is a 53-year-old patient who presented with multiple scalp lesions that had been present for three years. On clinical examination, there were two bilateral symmetrical temporal tumours with an occipital mass. Histology revealed a trichellemmal cyst for the temporal and a lipoma for the occipital.
