A 5-year-old girl presented with 7-month history of an asymptomatic enlarging skin-colored nodule on the right forearm that ulcerated and began to bleed spontaneously two months prior to our assessment. She was otherwise healthy, with normal development.On examination of the right forearm, there was a 2.5-cm round firm nodule with violaceous border and central ulceration with friable tissue and bleeding (Figure 1). There was no lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. The lesion was excised, and a histopathology study was carried out (Figure 2).

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.

“…Die Tumorgröße variiert in der Regel zwischen 0,5 bis 6 cm. Läsionen, die größer als 5 cm sind, werden als Riesenpilomatrixom bezeichnet [5]. 1974 berichtete Krausen erstmals von einem Riesenpilomatrixom mit einer Größe von 7 × 6 × 5 cm, lokalisiert im Bereich der Parotiden.…”
