Calcifying Epithelioma of Malherbe: A Rare Tumor in Unusual Location

Calcifying Epithelioma of Malherbe also known as pilomatrixoma or pilomatricoma, is a benign skin neoplasm that originates from the hair follicle matrix cells. It occurs most commonly in head and neck area. Because of the low incidence and variable clinical presentation, pilomatricoma is a tumor commonly misdiagnosed and histopathologicaly confirmed. Complete surgical excision is mandatory to avoid recurrence. We aim to report a case of this rare tumor arising in a very unusual location.
