This study found that while malignant pilomatricomas maintain some keratin expression patterns seen in benign counterparts, they notably express additional epithelial keratins, potentially influencing tumor calcification.

In this case report, a 34-year-old with a slowly growing mass near the right parotid gland was diagnosed with pilomatrixoma, a rare benign hair follicle tumor, which was only confirmed pathologically after surgical excision.

This case report describes a rare instance of a giant and atypical proliferating pilomatrixoma on the eyelid, successfully treated with surgical excision, with no recurrence observed after one year, emphasizing the need to excise and histologically evaluate enlarging periocular masses to rule out malignancy.

This report discusses a case of pilomatrixoma, an uncommon benign skin tumor, and emphasizes the importance of histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis as malignancy.

This study found that phospho-S6 is strongly expressed in malignant hair follicle tumors but only patchily in a minority of benign tumors, indicating a potential marker for distinguishing between the two.
