“…Well‐documented associations between benign pilomatrixoma and certain genetic conditions including Gardner syndrome, Rubinstein‐Taybi syndrome, Sotos syndrome, myotonic dystrophy and Turner's syndrome, have been reported in the literature, but not with the malignant variant . No patients were found to have an associated genetic condition.…”

Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive tumor with a tendency to recur. Distant metastases have been reported, with pulmonary lesions being the most frequent manifestation. Similar to pilomatrixoma, pilomatrix carcinoma typically presents as a nontender, firm dermal swelling and is found most commonly in the head and neck region. Although pilomatrixomas and pilomatrix carcinoma are well-recognized lesions, clinically they are frequently misdiagnosed as other skin conditions. By reviewing the literature over the past 10 years, the aims of this review are to analyze the cause, clinical presentation, histopathologic features, management and outcomes of pilomatrix carcinoma amongst children and adults. Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive tumor with a tendency to recur. 6-8 Distant metastases have been reported, with pulmonary lesions being the most frequent manifestation. 7-10 Similar to pilomatrixoma, pilomatrix carcinoma typically presents as a nontender, firm dermal swelling [3][4][5][6]8,11 and is found most commonly in the head and neck region. 9,11In contrast to benign pilomatrixomas, which show a bimodal occurrence with a slight female predominance, 2,5 pilomatrix carcinoma commonly occurs in the 5th to the 7th decade with a male to female ratio of 4:1. 9,12Given its rarity, a gold standard treatment regimen has not been established, however, most studies recommend wide local excision with or without adjuvant radiotherapy.

Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign skin tumor differentiating toward hair matrix cells usually encountered in the head and neck region. It is most frequently appearing in the first and second decades of life. Histopathological examination is essential to make definitive diagnosis. Herein, we present an atypical case of multiple pilomatrixomas. A 69-year-old man with multiple voluminous masses over the scalp. Among the three lesions, one was clinically suspicious for malignancy, it measured 17 cm and was ulcerated in places. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma. The tumors were removed surgically with free margins. Otolaryngologist should be familiar with this benign tumor when evaluating soft-tissue mass in the head and neck region.
