“…These cells have lost their nuclei and are filled with keratin and stain eosinophilic. The unstained area in the center of the ghost cell appears as a shadow due to the lost nucleus [6]. Foreign body giant cells are not unusual.…”

“…Pilomatrix carcinoma is a somewhat subjective diagnosis. The usual criteria are high mitotic activity, with crowded, atypical, pleomorphic basaloid cells demonstrating locally aggressive behavior [6]. Fewer than 20 cases of pilomatrical carcinoma have been reported in the literature, mostly occurring in the older population.…”

“…Epithelial cells with basophilic cytoplasm are seen at the periphery of these tumors, arranged in an arc-like fashion [6]. In 30%, basaloid cells are transformed into shadow cells, also known as "ghost" cells, which are more centrally located.…”

Atypical adult non-calcified pilomatricoma

We present a rare case of a non-calcified pilomatricoma in a 67-year-old man. This tumor was extremely large in size, and its location, in the lower extremity, was very unusual. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features are described in detail. The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of this entity is discussed. Definite internal reticulations and septations were observed.A possible explanation for this observation is that the high signal intensity reticulations may represent edematous stroma surrounding basaloid cells.

A 27 year old female attended our ENT out patient department with swelling in the left preauricular region. Excision biopsy was done and was reported as pilomatrixoma. Pilomatrixoma is a rare tumor in head and neck region. It is commonly misdiagnosed and often missed while making a differential diagnosis. It is a benign tumour but occasionally it may become malignant. For this reason surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

“…The preoperative diagnosis of this entity may be difficult because of its multiple manifestations (1), especially if the examining physician is unfamiliar with them. There have been some reports in the radiological literature which included the CT (2,4,5) and MR (2, 6 8) imaging findings of pilomatricoma however, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports in Korea on the sonographic and MR imaging findings of pilomatricoma involving the upper arm.…”
