Abstract: Pilomatrixoma is a type of benign tumor most commonly diagnosed in people under the age of twenty. It usually occurs at the passage of hairy parts of the body and is associated with hair follicles.It accounts for 1% of all benign tumors. The symptomatology varies according to the location of the tumor, however most are isolated and non-symptomatic. Rarely, pilomatrixoma can become malignant after the age of twenty. Tumor size over 10cm increases the possibility of malignant alteration. Complete surgical excision of the tumor is recommended.
