title: [Malherbe's calcifying epithelioma (pilomatrixoma) of the cervical middle line. A case report].
abstract: Calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe (Pilomatrixoma) is a rare benign tumor, starting in the hair matrix and clinically resembling a hard subcutaneous swelling. The most common sites of localization are the head and neck regions. Women show a sizeable incidence. We report a case located in the prelaryngeal area and emphasize cytodiagnostic by fine needle aspiration. The correct treatment consists in pure and simply surgical excision under local anesthesia.
