    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare malignant adnexal neoplasm.
    • It originates from the hair matrix.

    Observation:

    • A large, ulcerated mass was observed in the left axilla.
    • Histological examination revealed irregular nests of basaloid cells with cystic centers, necrotic debris, and 'shadow cells'.

    Findings:

    • The tumor demonstrated invasion of adjacent structures.
    • Key features included cellular pleomorphism, cell crowding, numerous mitotic figures, and occasional atypical mitoses.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to understanding the presentation of pilomatrix carcinoma.
    • Reviewing 16 cases emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment strategies for this rare malignancy.
