Pilomatrical tumors include pilomatricoma, melanocytic matricoma, and pilomatrical carcinoma. Similar to the normal anagen hair follicle bulb, they may be associated with benign and, rarely, with atypical pigmented dendritic melanocytes. It has been recently suggested that the term "melanocytic matricoma" be replaced with "pilomatricoma with melanocytic hyperplasia" (PMMH).

Longitudinal melanonychia (LM), a brown-black band on one or multiple nails, is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Benign LM may be due to exogenous (external, blood, bacterial, mycotic) or endogenous (melanin) pigment. Histopathologically, melanin-derived LM may result from overproduction of melanin by a normal number of melanocytes (melanocytic activation) due to physiologic, local, systemic, iatrogenic, syndromic, and drug-induced causes, or from benign (nail matrix nevus and lentigo) or malignant (nail unit melanoma [NUM]) melanocyte hyperplasia.

Here, we report a case of a female adult patient presenting with fleshy lesions on her scalp who underwent elective excision, and two separate lesions were identified on histopathology. She was found to have an unusual concurrent presentation of syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) and basal cell carcinoma, emphasising the importance of differential diagnosis in cutaneous lesions. While SCAP is benign, the presence of basal cells necessitates careful monitoring and appropriate treatment.
