  • Abstract:
  • With very low incidence, recurrence, and initial diagnostic accuracy, pilomatricoma is usually an isolated benign tumor of the hair follicle matrix. It is a hair matrix differentiation tumor that has historically been described as consisting of regions of calcification, multinucleated giant cells, basaloid and shadow cells, and other components. However, this tumor has a wide variety of histologic characteristics that are frequently overlooked. It affects women and children more regularly. For this kind of tumor, the cervical and face regions are the most common places. Pilomatricoma diagnosis needs to be validated histologically and clinically. We report the rare case of a pilomatricoma, in an unusual location of the right lateral forearm.
