“…These tumours were constituted by nodules of epithelial cells, composed of matrical and supramatrical cells, surrounding clusters of ‘ghost’ or ‘shadow’ cells admixed with dendritic melanocytes. This tumour shows some resemblance to pilomatrixoma, of which pigmented variants have been reported, 1 but differs from the present case, since squamous cells with keratin pearls were absent.…”

“…Pigmentation of epithelial neoplasm is well known and the majority of cutaneous tumours can harbour melanin pigment and/or melanocytes 1–8 . Pigmented non‐melanocytic tumours can be either the result of tumour colonization of normal melanocytes, 2,6,8,9 , the product of a neoplastic multidirectional differentiation, 3,10 or the expression of a collision tumour 11 …”

“…The clinical differential diagnosis includes pigmented basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and hemangioma. Histologically, the appearance of reported cases 6,9,10 is quite similar and characterized by a dual cell population including admixed epithelial and melanocytic cells. The epithelial component contains matrical, supramatrical and 'shadow' or 'ghost' cells.…”

“…Whether PM regress spontaneously is unknown 4 . There are several clinical types of PM: perforating, 3,5,15 bullous, 20,21 melanocytic, 22,23 giant, 7,24 keratoacanthomalike, 15,25 exophytic, 26 anetodermic, 27 lymphangiectatic, 17 multinodular, 18 malignant, 19,28,29 symmetrical involvement 30 and multiple 6,16,30–32 . Most PM do not cause clinical complications.…”
