Abstract

Pilomatrixoma is a benign lesion generally found at the backof the head. A 44-year-old woman presented to our outpatientunit with the complaint of a palpable hardness in her vulva. Onexamination a palpable hard, mobile, painless mass approximately 2.0x1.0 cm in size was detected about 2.5 cm below theleft labium major. The overlying skin was intact. After surgicalremoval of the mass pathologic findings were found compatiblewith “pilomatrixoma.” No recurrence was noted during one yearfollow-up. Pilomatrixoma should be kept in mind as a diagnosisfor dermal or subcutaneous nodules localized outside the headand neck region.

Özet

Pilomatriksoma genellikle kafanın arkasında bulunan benign bir lezyondur. Kırk dört yaşındaki kadın hasta vulvasında ele gelen sert kitle yakınmasıyla başvurdu. Muayenede sol labium majusun yaklaşık 2,5 cm alt kısmında ortalama 2.0×1.0 cm ağrısız, mobil, sert kitle saptandı. Üzerindeki cilt sağlamdı. Çıkarıldıktan sonra patoloji sonucu pilomatriksomayla uyumlu saptandı. Bir yıllık takibinde yineleme olmadı. Kafa ve boyun bölgesi dışındaki dermal veya subkutanöz nodüllerde de pilomatriksoma ayırıcı tanıda akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
