  • Title: Aggressive pilomatrixoma of the infra-auricular area: a case report.
    Author: Saussez S, Mahillon V, Blaivie C, Haller A, Chantrain G, Thill MP.
    Journal: Auris Nasus Larynx; 2005 Dec; 32(4):407-10. PubMed ID: 16198080.
    Abstract:
    Although pilomatrixomas are well known among dermatologists and dermatopathologists, head and neck surgeons confronted with these lesions in the infra-auricular region do not consider this benign neoplasm in the differential diagnosis. Aggressive pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor of the hair matrix cells affecting mainly children. Histologically, the border between aggressive pilomatrixoma and pilomatrix carcinoma is still not clear. We report the case of a 15-year-old Turkish boy suffering from an aggressive pilomatrixoma of the infra-auricular region and review the literature about this unclear entity.
