“…[3][4][5] Although pilomatrixoma grows slowly, it occasionally demonstrates rapid growth and can resemble keratoacanthoma of the skin. [6] Ultrasonography (US) investigation is helpful to detect pilomatrixoma.…”

“…Clinical features as documented by Duran and de Buen,22 and later also by Perez and Nicholson,23 should raise clinical suspicion—they include onset in childhood or early adulthood, average size of 10 mm or less, consistency ranging from firm to cystic, moderate pattern of growth, pink to purple hue with subepithelial yellowish tinge and intact overlying skin with telangiectatic vessels. Pilomatricomas are usually solitary nodules also between 2 and 10% can be seen as multiple.…”

Uncommon benign tumour of the skin: infraorbital pilomatricoma

et al. 2016

SUMMARYPilomatricoma is a relatively rare tumour of the skin derived from primitive basal cells of epidermis that differentiate into hair matrix cells. It comprises approximately 1% of all benign skin tumours. The most common sites for pilomatricomas are the head, neck and upper extremities. A 44-year-old woman, admitted to our department, underwent an orthopantomography examination, which revealed a well-circumscribed 1.6×1.4 mm radiopaque mass superimposed between the medial wall of the right maxillary sinus and lateral wall of the nasal cavity. Clinically, it was firm and mobile, and remained attached to the underlying skin when palpated. A cone beam CT scan was performed to ascertain its location and anatomic relations. Subsequently, it was totally excised under local anaesthesia. Histopathological evaluation of the lesion reported it to be a pilomatricoma. BACKGROUND

A 6-month-old girl born to a primigravid mother presented with a lump attached on the posterior side of the right auricle. Pregnancy and spontaneous vaginal delivery were uncomplicated.The lesion was first noticed at the age of 3 months as a small nodule with subsequent rapid growth, plateauing after 1 month, and was initially considered as a hemangioma. She was referred to us because of ulceration of the lesion since 1 week.On physical examination, the lump was 3.5 cm 9 1.5 cm and the overlying skin had a reddish-blue discoloration. On palpation, the posterior part was firm to gritty and the anterior side was ulcerated, tender, and inflamed ( Fig. 1). Haemophilus influenzae was cultured from the ulcerated part.Ultrasound examination showed an ovoid complex mass with calcification at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat and focal thinning of the overlying dermis. She was treated with ampicillin for 5 days and then the lump was excised.
