Abstract :
Pilomatrixoma, pilomatrix carcinoma, are neoplasms of skin appendage with differentiation towards hair follicle matrix cells. They represent two ends of the spectrum with varying clinical and pathological characteristics. Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, having a tendency to recur locally, with a rare propensity for distant metastasis.
There is a need to differentiate the two entity, for appropriate selection of treatment. We describe a case of a pilomatrixoma in a 62 year old gentleman over the right chest along with a review of pathology and treatment options.
