Benign, irregularly shaped shoulder mass in a pediatric patient: A case report

Pilomatricomas are slow-growing benign skin growths seen predominantly in the head and neck region of pediatric patients. Current literature review notes that these lesions are often misdiagnosed both clinically and radiologically, as their features are non-specific, making excision and histologic evaluation the only means to confirm the diagnosis. This case report illustrates the course of a pediatric patient who presents with a pilomatricoma in a less commonly seen location. As with most of these cases, the diagnosis was unclear until surgical excision and pathology were performed.
