Paratesticular pilomatricoma: a new location

Pediatr Surg Int. 2001 Nov;17(8):652-3. doi: 10.1007/s003830100016.

Abstract

The first case of pediatric paratesticular pilomatricoma is reported. Differential diagnosis with other more common lesions in such a site is the main issue. Conservative surgery is the treatment of choice. Follow-up is recommended, since most pilomatricomata are benign, but rarely malignant transformation may occur.
