  • Title: Colossal pilomatrixoma.
    Author: Beattie G, Tai C, Pinar Karakas S, Cham E, Idowu O, Kim S.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2018 Feb; 100(2):e38-e40. PubMed ID: 29182000.
    Abstract:
    We describe the largest reported case of pilomatrixoma in the literature. While pilomatrixomas typically present as small soft-tissue nodules of the head, neck and upper extremities, they can also present as much larger masses in atypical locations. When they present in their usual size, pilomatrixomas have typical imaging features and can be correctly diagnosed with imaging studies before histological confirmation. Their clinical and imaging diagnosis become challenging when they are very large, as in our case. A giant pilomatrixoma should also be considered for paediatric patients presenting with a large subcutaneous soft-tissue mass.
