Malignant pilomatricoma in a child with a previous vascular malformation.
Malignant pilomatricoma or pilomatric carcinoma, the malignant counterpart of pilomatricoma, is a rare, low-grade malignant lesion that usually arises from a pilomatricoma and is usually found in elderly men. We report a case of malignant pilomatricoma in an 8-year-old girl.
