Üst Ekstremite Yerleşimli Pilomatrikoma: Olgu Sunumu
Pilomatrikoma, genellikle baş ve boyun bölgesinde yerleşim gösteren iyi huylu bir deri tümörüdür.
Genellikle izole bir lezyon olarak görülür ve nadiren malign seyreder. Bu yazıda sol kolunda pilomatrikoma
saptanan 17 yaşındaki erkek olgu incelenmiştir. USG’de cilt altı yağlı dokuda lokalize düzgün sınırlı 15x8
mm boyutlu mm’lik kalsifik odaklar içeren hipoekoik solid lezyon izlenmiştir. Pilomatrikomanın kesin
tanısı histopatolojik olarak konulur. Histopatolojik incelemede gölge ve hayalet hücrelerin görülmesi
karakteristiktir. Baş, boyun ve ekstremitelerde cilt altı yüzeyel yerleşimli ağrısız kitle ile karşılaşıldığında
pilomatrikoma ayırıcı tanıda değerlendirilmelidir. Cerrahi eksizyon tam kür sağlamaktadır ve nüks oranı
düşüktü
Pilomatricoma of the Upper Extremities: A Case Report
Pilomatricoma is a benign skin tumor, which is generally spotted in neck region along with the head.
Isolated lesions are the usual detected. Malignant transformations are considered as seldom occurrences.
A 17-year-old boy with a pilomatricoma on his left arm was presented as our case in this study. On
ultrasonography, the hypoechoic solid lesion with calcification spots defined 15x8 mm sized, well-defined
margins localized in the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathology. From
histopathological point of view, shadow or ghost cells are characteristic. Pilomatricoma should be taken
into consideration in the differential diagnosis of superficial or subcutaneous, painless masses of head,
neck and extremities. Surgical excision is curative and the recurrent rate is low
