Malherbe's Calcifying Epithelioma (Pilomatrixoma) of the Eyelid Clinical Features

Pilomatrixoma of the posterior cervical region

“…[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.…”

Uncommon benign tumour of the skin: infraorbital pilomatricoma

“…Pilomatricomas generally present as subcutaneous red to blue masses that are fairly well circumscribed, mobile and firm-to-gritty on palpation 21. 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.…”
