Pilomatrix carcinoma: role played by MR imaging.
We report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a pilomatrix carcinoma. We found a soft tissue tumor of the back entering the spinal canal and compressing the spinal cord and we monitored a good response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We have concluded that MRI played an important role in determination of the volume, extension and management of this rare malignant tumor.
