Pilomatricomas are rare skin tumors related to hair follicles. They typically present in children, and the most common locations are head and neck. Pilomatricomas are usually painless; however, they can cause cosmetic problems. Treatment is decided on an individual basis and involves local excision. However, caution should be taken if the lesion is malignant, as resection with safe margins (0.5-1.0 cm) is determinant of the overall outcome. Radiotherapy is indicated in cases of residual tumor tissue or recurrence. The role of chemotherapy in pilomatricomas is still undetermined. We report a 55-year-old female with multiple lumps on her shoulder and back. The sonographic features of these lesions were typically consistent with pilomatricomas. The patient decided to opt for excision due to cosmetic reasons and the histopathology features were suggestive of pilomatricoma.
毛发瘤是一种与毛囊相关的罕见皮肤肿瘤。它们通常出现在儿童身上，最常见的部位是头颈部。毛发瘤通常无痛；然而，它们可能会导致美容问题。治疗是根据个体情况决定的，包括局部切除。但是，如果病变是恶性的，则应谨慎处理，因为安全切缘（0.5 - 1.0厘米）切除是总体预后的决定性因素。残留肿瘤组织或复发的病例需要进行放射治疗。化疗在毛发瘤中的作用仍未确定。我们报告了一名55岁女性，其肩部和背部有多个肿块。这些病变的超声特征通常与毛发瘤一致。由于美容原因，患者决定选择切除，组织病理学特征提示为毛发瘤。
