Pilomatricoma is a common benign skin tumor of follicular origin, occurring mainly in the head and neck region. However, less common locations, such as the arm or elbow, can also be observed. Definitive diagnosis is based on histopathological examination, and standard treatment consists of complete surgical excision of the lesion. We report the case of a 31-year-old man with a pilomatricoma located on the posterolateral aspect of the right elbow, which had been evolving for 2 years. After surgical excision under locoregional anesthesia followed by thin skin grafting, no signs of local recurrence were observed after 12 months' follow-up. This case is particularly interesting because of the rare location and large size of the tumor in the elbow.
毛发瘤是一种常见的毛囊起源的良性皮肤肿瘤，主要发生在头颈部区域。然而，也可观察到较少见的部位，如手臂或肘部。明确诊断基于组织病理学检查，标准治疗包括对病变进行完整的手术切除。我们报告一例31岁男性患者，其右肘后外侧有一个毛发瘤，已发展2年。在局部麻醉下手术切除并进行薄皮移植后，随访12个月未观察到局部复发迹象。由于该肿瘤在肘部的罕见位置和较大尺寸，此病例特别有趣。
