Pilomatrixoma of the neck : a forgotten entity

الملخص EN

Pilomatrixoma, also known as pilomatricoma is a rare benign appendageal neoplasm of hair follicle matrix.

It usually presents as a superficial, firm mass, commonly found in the head and neck region which may pose a diagnostic challenge as it may resemble other common benign lesions as in this case, sebaceous cyst.

Pilomatrixoma remains to be misdiagnosed and are usually not considered in differential diagnosis.

We report a case of a young girl with pilomatrixoma of neck, surgical management and histopathological findings.
