Introduction: Trichilemmal cysts (TCs) are common skin lesions that occur in hairy areas. A TC involving a fingertip has not been previously described in the literature. We herein report a case of a TC occupying a fingertip region.Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presented with a 1:5 Â 1:5 cm nodular lesion on the third fingertip. The lesion was completely excised, and histopathological examination revealed a TC.Conclusion: TCs may involve atypical locations, such as fingertips, where there are no hair follicles. After surgical excision, a careful histopathological examination should be performed to differentiate TCs from proliferating pilar tumors.

Lower extremity traumatic injuries with exposed vessels mandate prompt repair. Here the authors present a traumatic case in which a contralateral "septocutaneous tibialis posterior artery perforator"-based cross-leg flap was used to cover an open wound.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most commonly seen nonmelanoma skin cancer which is rarely encountered in the childhood period. An 11-year old child was admitted to our clinic due to an erythematous and a slightly pigmented lesion with a 3 × 4 cm diameter on his posterior scalp. Macroscopically, the lesion was excised with a 10 mm safety margin. Pathologic examination revealed a basal cell carcinoma. No symptoms or signs of a syndrome were observed both in the patient and his family.
