Multiple pilomatrixomas, typically benign skin tumors, can rarely present. This case highlights a patient with multiple pilomatrixoma, with no recurrence after surgical excision, suggesting favorable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pilomatrixoma is a benign skin appendage tumor derived from hair matrix cells.
  • Multiple pilomatrixomas are uncommon, and malignant transformation, though rare, has been reported.
  • Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision are crucial for managing pilomatrixoma.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old Caucasian female presented with multiple pilomatrixomas.
  • The patient underwent surgical excision of three pilomatrixomas on her arms, three years after an initial facial lesion removal.
  • Follow-up examinations confirmed no evidence of recurrence after two years.

Findings:

  • The presented case adds to the literature on multiple pilomatrixoma occurrences.
  • Complete surgical excision led to a favorable outcome with no recurrence in this patient.

  • Histopathologic evaluation is essential to rule out any malignant features.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests that multiple pilomatrixomas can be successfully managed with surgical excision.
    • Further research may elucidate the genetic or environmental factors contributing to multiple pilomatrixoma.
    • Awareness of multiple pilomatrixoma is important for dermatologists and pathologists for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
