Pilomatricoma is a benign cutaneous tumor originating from hair follicle matrix cells and characterized by the presence of subcutaneous nodules of up to 3.0 cm in diameter, usually on the head, neck and upper extremities. It is most common in the first two decades of life and after the age of 60. We report a case of an adult female patient was evaluated, presenting a solid tumoral lesion, with approximately 3.5 x 3.0 cm in size, in the scalp. It was thought to be a squamous cell carcinoma, sarcoma, amelanotic melanoma, or nodular basal cell carcinoma. The resection of the lesion was carried out and, at the histological examination, specific details were observed that led to the diagnosis of pilomatricoma. Pilomatricoma should be suspected in the differential diagnosis of other cutaneous tumors.

“…Recent investigations have shown that recurrent mutations in the beta-catenin gene are responsible [1,11]. It has been reported to be related with myotronic dystrophy gene, polyoma virus, Gardner syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, Turner syndrome, sarcoidosis and basal cell nevus syndrome [1,11,12].…”

ÖzetAmaç: Pilomatriksoma veya Malherbe'nin kalsifiye epitelioması kılın pluripotent prekürsör matriks hücrelerinden köken alan, nadir görülen, iyi huylu, sınırlı, kalsifiye epitelyal bir tümördür. Genellikle baş boyun ve üst ekstremitelerde, deri veya deri altında, semptom vermeyen nodül olarak görülür. Bu klinik çalışmada, 20 olgudaki tecrübelerimiz ışığında tümörün epidemiyolojisinin, klinik ve histopatolojik bulgularının, ayırıcı tanısının ve tedavi sonuçlarının tartışılması hedeflenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, 2005-2012 yılları arasında çocuk cerrahisi kliniklerinde deri altı kitlelere eksizyonel biyopsi uygulanan ve patolojik olarak pilomatriksoma tanısı alan 20 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Toplamda 20 olgumuzun 12'si kız (%60), 8'i erkekti (%40). Tanı aldıklarında hastaların ortalama yaşı 9,6 yıldı. Olgularımızın 18 tanesi (%90) tek nodül şeklinde, 2 tanesi (%10) ayrı lokalizasyonlarda çift nodül şeklindeydi. Tümör lokalizasyonları itibari ile %54,5'ü baş-boyun, %31,8'i ekstremite ve %13,6'sı gövdede bulunuyordu. Sonuç: Pilomatriksoma, sık olmamasına rağmen daha çok çocuklarda ve adelosanlarda görülen cerrahi eksizyon ile tedavi edilebilen benin bir deri tümörüdür. Bu olguların tekrarlama ve hatta metastaz riski taşıyan malin formunun atlanmaması için histopatolojik ve klinik özelliklerinin dikkatle değerlendirilmesi gereklidir (Türk derm 2013; 47: 84-7). Anah tar Ke li me ler: Pilomatriksoma, çocuklar Sum maryBackground and Design: Pilomatrixoma calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe is a rare, benign, limited, calcifying epithelial neoplasm that arises from the hair pluripotent precursor matrix cells. It is usually seen in the head and neck and the upper extremities, in the dermis or subcutaneous tissues as an asymptomatic nodule. In this study, we discuss the epidemiology of the tumor, clinical and histopathological findings, differential diagnosis and treatment outcome of pilomatrixoma in the light of our experiences with 20 cases. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a total of 20 cases diagnosed with pilomatrixoma with a pathology evaluation after excisional biopsy of the subcutaneous mass at pediatric surgery clinics between 2005 and 2012. Results: Our 20 patients consisted of 12 females (60%) and 8 males (40%). The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 9.6 years. There was a single nodule in 18 cases (90%) and two nodules in separate places in 2 cases (10%). The tumor localization was in the head and neck in 54.5%, the extremities in 31.8%, and the trunk in 13.6%. Conclusion: Pilomatrixomas are rare but usually seen in children and adolescents and this benign skin tumor can be treated with surgical excision. Histopathological and clinical features should be evaluated carefully to prevent missing the malignant form that carries a risk of recurrence and even metastasis. (Turkderm 2013; 47: 84-7)

“…It can be seen at any age and is more common in women [3]. Although its etiology is unknown, it may be associated with trauma, infection, or a pause in the cycle of the hair follicles [4]. Two major parts are characteristic for pilomatricoma: basophilic cells and shadow cells for pathological investigation.…”

ÖzetTrikomatriksoma, Trikilemmal kist veya Malherbe'nin kalsifik epitelyoması olarakta bilinen Pilomatriksoma kıl foliküllerinden köken alan iyi huylu bir tümördür. Çok nadir görülmesine karşın yanlış tanınabilmesi ve diğer lezyonlarla karışabilmesi nedeniyle klinik öneme sahiptir. Pilomatriksoma genelde boyun bölgesinde görül-mektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda daha once literatürde çok nadir görülen alt ekstremite yerleşimli pilomatriksoma anlatılmaktadır. Anahtar KelimelerPilomatriksoma; Alt Ekstremite; Benign Tümör Abstract Pilomatrixoma, also known as trikomatriksoma, trichilemmal cyst, or Malherbe's calcifying epithelioma, is a benign tumor originating from the matrix cells of the hair follicles. Despite its rarity, it is of clinical importance, as it may lead to incorrect pre-diagnosis, being confused with other lesions. It is generally seen on the neck region. In this case report, pilomatrixoma of the lower extremity has been described, which has been described in the literature extremely rare.
