Malignant pilomatricoma is an extremely rare tumour arising from the hair follicle. About 80 known cases are reported in literature till date. Presented herewith are two cases of malignant pilomatricoma, occurring in young female patients, each with a different clinical presentation and outcome. It is important to be aware of this entity as malignant pilomatricoma, though, initially locally aggressive, can recur if incompletely excised and also can metastasize to lungs, bones and lymph nodes.
恶性毛母质瘤是一种极其罕见的起源于毛囊的肿瘤。迄今为止,文献报道的已知病例约有80例。本文介绍了两例恶性毛母质瘤病例,均发生在年轻女性患者身上,每例都有不同的临床表现和结局。认识到这种疾病很重要,因为恶性毛母质瘤虽然最初具有局部侵袭性,但如果切除不完全可能会复发,并且还可能转移至肺、骨和淋巴结。
