Entry
H00947                      Disease                                
Name
Pilomatricoma;
Epithelioma calcificans of Malherbe
Description
Pilomatricoma is a benign cutaneous tumor of follicular structures. It occurs either in isolation or in conjunction with other symptoms such as myotonic dystrophy and Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome. The histologic appearance of the tumor is characterized by cells resembling those of the hair follicle matrix and sometimes show differentiation toward the follicular infundibulum and surrounding sheath.
