[Dailydrool] trichoepithelioma

[Sandi Wittenberg]

My understanding of these growths are that they are generally benign and
begin in a hair follicle.  I have had a couple of dogs throughout the past
40 years that had one.  Surgical removal was necessary to prevent
ulceration/infection.  They never returned or spread.  This site gives some
basic info.
