Dermoscopy of Pilomatricoma: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature

An eleven-year-old female presented with a painless, erythematous-purplish tumor on her back, which was diagnosed as pilomatricoma, a benign tumor from hair follicle matrix cells. Dermoscopic examination showed features such as irregular linear vessels, white structures, and structureless grayish-blue areas. These findings, along with histological confirmation post-excision, suggest that dermoscopy can be an effective method for enhancing the clinical identification of pilomatricoma.
