AI Article Synopsis
- A case study involved an 8-year-old boy who had a large, recurrent skin horn on his neck, which was successfully treated through surgery.
- The findings suggest that "perforating pilomatricoma," characterized by skin horn formation, should be recognized as a possible diagnosis for kids showing similar symptoms.
Article Abstract
Pilomatricoma is an uncommon benign adnexal tumor of childhood. We report a case of pilomatricoma presenting as a large, recurrent painful cutaneous horn on the neck of an 8-year-old boy treated with surgical excision. On histopathology, classical features of pilomatricoma along with transepidermal elimination and perforation were shown. We propose that perforating pilomatricoma and pilomatrical horn represent equivalent clinical and pathological entities. The diagnosis of perforating pilomatricoma should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with a cutaneous horn.
