Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: We included cases of postradiotherapy scalp tumors recorded at the Dermatology Department of the Charles Nicolle Hospital, Tunis between 1988 and 2001. We recorded clinical descriptions and all cases were resubmitted to microscopic analysis. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: This series shows that although basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent tumor in this situation, trichoblastomas are common. We describe, for the first time, radio-induced trichoblastic carcinomas. Trichoblastic tumors have not yet been described in this context because this concept is relatively recent.
