Pilomatrixoma, also known as calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe, is a cutaneous tumor originating from the hair matrix that commonly affects children. Pilomatrixoma is usually solitary and most commonly found on the face, neck, and upper torso, while the scrotum is considered a very rare site. We report a rare location and manifestation of pilomatrixoma as multiple, large, firm, calcified scrotal masses in a 32-years old man. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed.
毛母质瘤,也称为马尔赫布钙化上皮瘤,是一种起源于毛发基质的皮肤肿瘤,常见于儿童。毛母质瘤通常为单发,最常见于面部、颈部和上躯干,而阴囊被认为是非常罕见的发病部位。我们报告了一例罕见部位和表现的毛母质瘤,在一名32岁男性中表现为多发、巨大、质地坚硬、钙化的阴囊肿物。进行了切除活检,确诊为毛母质瘤。
