A 7-year-old Chinese American boy presented to a primary care clinic (PCC) with concerns
about two masses located on his neck. The patient's mother reported that the masses
had been present for 8 months and had fluctuated in size. The masses had not been
incised or biopsied. The patient denied any pain associated with the masses, and his
review of systems was negative. After four examinations at the PCC, two courses of
antibiotics, one examination by an otolaryngologist (ENT), and a histologic examination
of the mass, the patient was diagnosed with trichilemmoma.
