Article Synopsis
- Pilomatrixoma, a benign tumor from hair follicle cells, commonly appears in younger individuals, especially women and Caucasians, and can become large (≥5 cm) when categorized as a giant pilomatrixoma.
- A 75-year-old woman with no prior health issues was admitted to the emergency department after a fall, presenting a giant tumor on her head, severe anemia from bleeding, vitamin deficiencies, and altered mental state.
- Biopsy confirmed the tumor as a pilomatrixoma, leading to surgical removal; she was later referred to psychiatric care for her delirious speech, which was linked to schizophrenia, and was discharged four months later.
