Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Pilomatrixomas are uncommon, typically benign, calcifying tumors originating from hair matrix cells.
  • Aggressively invasive variants, termed pilomatrix carcinoma, are rare, with only eleven prior cases reported.

Observation:

  • This report details the first documented instance of cervical pilomatrix carcinoma.
  • The tumor necessitated a modified radical neck dissection for complete removal.

Findings:

  • Pilomatrix carcinoma exhibits aggressive behavior, comparable to basal cell carcinoma.
  • Definitive anatomic resection with meticulous margin assessment is crucial.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical sites for pilomatrix carcinoma.
  • Systematic follow-up is essential for managing this aggressive neoplasm.
