In this study 46 case of pilomatricoma, with asymptomic, single and firm nodule referred to dermatology clinic of Boo-Ali Sina Hospital in Sari (1996-2006). A Biopsy was taken from suspicious lesions and histopathology assessments were done for cases with pilomatricoma impression. 69.56% patients were female. Mean age of the patients was 20.1 years .The most frequent sites of the tumor were the forearm (41.30%). It can be concluded, because the pilomatricoma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm with differentiation toward hair matrix, so that it is not seen in palm or plantar surface, but could present in any other area. Since, few of pilomatricoma lesions converted to malignant, so that it is better we resects total lesion by surgical excision.
本研究旨在评估1996 - 2006年马赞德兰省毛发瘤患者的特征。本研究中，46例毛发瘤患者，均有无症状、单发且质地硬的结节，被转诊至萨里布阿里·西纳医院皮肤科门诊（1996 - 2006年）。对可疑病变进行活检，并对疑似毛发瘤病例进行组织病理学评估。69.56%的患者为女性。患者的平均年龄为20.1岁。肿瘤最常见的部位是前臂（41.30%）。可以得出结论，由于毛发瘤是一种向毛母质分化的良性皮肤肿瘤，所以在手掌或足底未见，但可出现在其他任何部位。由于少数毛发瘤病变会恶变，因此最好通过手术切除整个病变。
