We report on 4 elderly patients aged 54-85 years with histopathologically diagnosed pilomatricoma who had been seen in our department from 1993 to 1997. Pilomatricoma is a rather uncommon neoplasm in middle-aged and old patients. It is much better known in children. Here, we clinically studied these 4 cases of pilomatricoma in elderly patients (above 50 years of age) to show the variety of clinical differential diagnosis and discuss the clinicopathological features. The results of the present study indicate that the differential diagnosis of pilomatricoma should also be considered in elderly individuals.
我们报告了1993年至1997年期间在我科就诊的4例年龄在54 - 85岁之间、经组织病理学诊断为毛母质瘤的老年患者。毛母质瘤在中老年患者中是一种相当罕见的肿瘤，在儿童中更为人所知。在此，我们对这4例老年患者（50岁以上）的毛母质瘤进行了临床研究，以展示临床鉴别诊断的多样性并探讨其临床病理特征。本研究结果表明，在老年个体中也应考虑毛母质瘤的鉴别诊断。
