BOSIO BONET, M et al. Pilomatrixoma: An atypical presentation. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2016, vol.97, n.2, pp.1-4. ISSN 1851-300X.
Pilomatrixoma is a benign adnexal tumor derived from the matrix cells of the hair follicle. It has two peaks of incidence: between 5 and 15 years and between 50 and 65 years. Approximately 60-80% of cases develop in the first decade of life. In adults, it is generally under-diagnosed due to its low frequency. We report the case of a pilomatrixoma in adulthood of rapid growth and a brief review on the subject.
