Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor arising from the hair follicles. Its occurrence in the male breast is extremely uncommon with very few cases reported worldwide. Pilomatrixoma may masquerade as a malignant tumor due to the presence of foci of calcification. We present a case of a 51-year-old man with a six-month history of a firm-to-hard mass in his right breast. The mammographic and sonographic features were suggestive of skin-related lesions. The lesion was excised. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma.
毛发上皮瘤是一种罕见的起源于毛囊的良性皮肤附属器肿瘤。它在男性乳房中极为罕见,全球报道的病例极少。由于存在钙化灶,毛发上皮瘤可能会伪装成恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例51岁男性,其右乳出现质地硬韧的肿块已有6个月。乳房X线摄影和超声检查结果提示为皮肤相关病变。该病变被切除。组织病理学确诊为毛发上皮瘤。
