This study reviewed the literature on pilomatrix carcinoma and reported that while wide local excision was the most definitive treatment, local recurrences and metastases were common.

This study reports that Mohs micrographic surgery resulted in no recurrences of pilomatrix carcinoma, compared to a 34.5% recurrence rate with traditional surgical excision.

In this case report, a 27-year-old woman with a swelling on her neck was initially misdiagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, but was later identified as having pilomatrix carcinoma with lymph node metastasis, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective treatment and prognosis improvement.

The researchers reported that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a role in hair follicle differentiation and tumorigenesis, and OVOL1 and OVOL2 are potential diagnostic markers for pilomatricoma and pilomatrix carcinoma.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.
