Provide Information For Treatment Of Tricoeptithelial Carcinoma
Dear Sir
My father, aged 73 had a lesion at the ala of his nose which has grown bigger in size and started bleeding occasionally. I consulted a deramatologist and he had the lesion excised and sent for biopsy. The biopsy report has come as tricoepithelial carcinoma-low grade. Dermatologist has referred him to a surgical oncologist. I would like to know further details about this as carcinoma as far as I know is a type of cancer. Please clarify me about this condition and what further action would be needed in his case.
Thanks.
Nalini.
