Pilomatrixoma of earlobe

J Cutan Aesthet Surg. 2009 Jan;2(1):36-7. doi: 10.4103/0974-2077.53099.

Abstract

Pilomatrixomas are uncommon in children and are frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively. We report a two-year-old female patient with an unusual localization in the earlobe. The lesion was treated by simple enucleation and in two years of follow-up there has been no evidence of recurrence. The case is being reported in view of its rarity and unusual location.

Keywords: Calcification; earlobes; pilomatrixoma.
