“…Depending on its stage of differentiation, pilomatricoma is classified into three phases: a progressive phase, a regressive phase, and the phase of dismantling and reconstruction by stroma. 5 In the progressive phase, basophilic cells, which are located in peripheral areas of long‐standing tumour, lose their nuclei and differentiate abruptly into shadow cells that are located in the centre of the tumour. Then, in the regressive phase, most pilomatricomas contain calcium deposits and amorphous necrotic products of degeneration in the centre of shadow cells.…”
