Abstract

Pilomatricomas are rare benign skin adnexal tumors usually occurring in the head, neck or upper extremities of children and young adults. Ossifying pilomatricoma is a still rarer entity. Here, a case of a 22-year-old lady is reported, who presented with a firm to hard swelling in the right side of the neck. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed features of ossifying pilomatricoma with the formation of bone marrow elements. The patient was free of recurrence on 6-month follow-up. The case highlights a rare entity with characteristic histopathological features.
