    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from hair matrix cells.
    • Understanding its clinicopathologic features is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This study describes two new cases of pilomatrix carcinoma and compares them to 11 previously reported cases.
    • Pilomatrix carcinoma predominantly affects older males, unlike its benign counterpart, pilomatrixoma.
    • Histological examination reveals increased mitotic activity and cytologic abnormalities such as cellular enlargement and nuclear changes.

    Findings:

    • The local recurrence rate for pilomatrix carcinoma is 60%.
    • Distant metastasis occurred in one case after a second local recurrence.
    • Histological diagnosis is accurate, with key differentiating features including mitotic activity and cellular atypia.

    Implications:

    • Aggressive surgical management of the primary lesion is recommended to minimize local recurrence.
    • Preventing local recurrence may reduce the risk of distant tumor metastasis.
    • Early and accurate histological diagnosis is vital for effective treatment strategies.
