Pilomatrixomas are uncommon benign skin neoplasms arising from the hair follicle matrix. They occur more commonly in children than adults. Most originate on the head, neck, or upper extremities, less commonly on the trunk or lower extremities, and very infrequently in the breast. We present a rare case of pilomatrixoma of the breast in an adult male. As the patient had a strong family history of breast cancer, a full work-up of the breast mass was performed. Ultimately, an excisional biopsy was carried out for patient reassurance.
毛母质瘤是一种罕见的起源于毛囊基质的良性皮肤肿瘤。它们在儿童中比在成人中更常见。大多数起源于头部、颈部或上肢,较少见于躯干或下肢,极少发生于乳房。我们报告一例成年男性乳房毛母质瘤的罕见病例。由于该患者有强烈的乳腺癌家族史,因此对乳房肿块进行了全面检查。最终,为让患者安心进行了切除活检。
