Malignant pilomatrixoma with multiple local recurrences and distant metastases: a case report and review of the literature

N G Mikhaeel et al. Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol). 2001.

Abstract

Malignant pilomatrixoma is a rare malignant tumour of the hair matrix, which was first described in 1980. Only five patients with distant metastases have been reported. We report a sixth case with metastatic disease in a 52-year-old male, who also developed multiple local recurrences. We also review the previous five cases.
