PILOMATRICOMA PRESENTING AS AN ANTERIOR NECK MASS – A CASE REPORT

Dr. Abhilasha Goswami, Dr. Hironya Borah

Abstract :

Pilomatricoma is a benign skin neoplasm originating from hair follicle matrix cells, which is not commonly encountered in general practice. Histopathological analysis is usually needed to make the diagnosis. Here, we present a case of a 35 year old male who presented with an anterior neck mass, which was diagnosed to be a case of pilomatricoma only after excision. We are reporting this case to highlight the importance of histopathological analysis after excision of any swelling and the need to keep pilomatricoma in the differential diagnosis of all superficial skin tumours.
