Pilomatricoma of the Ear Lobule in a Child Mimicking a Sebaceous Cyst: A Rare Case Report
Abstract: Background: Pilomatricoma is a benign skin adnexal tumor arising from hair matrix cells. Ear lobule involvement is rare. Case Presentation: A 6-year-old girl presented with a 2 ? 1 cm swelling of the ear lobule of one-month duration. The lesion was provisionally diagnosed as antibioma or sebaceous cyst. Complete surgical excision was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed pilomatricoma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Conclusion: Pilomatricoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric ear lobule swellings. Histopathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis.
