Abstract
This case report describes an atypically large pilar sheath acanthoma (PSA) presenting on a patient's cheek. Due to the bothersome nature of the lesion, the patient underwent surgical excision, with subsequent histopathological analysis confirming the diagnosis of an unusually large PSA. In addition to a definitive diagnosis, surgical excision provided symptomatic relief for the patient.
