Abstract

Objective: Pilomatrixoma is a benign skin tumor. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical presentation and associated conditions in children with pilomatrixoma. Methods: The medical records of 52 children from a single referral center obtained between 2000 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: There were a total of 62 tumors in 52 children. The mean age at excision was 9.55±4.65 years. Tumors were predominantly located in head and neck region (48.4%). There was no family history of pilomatrixoma, except one case. One patient had Turner Syndrome and the other one had tuberous sclerosis complex. Fifty- four (87%) lesions were examined by ultrasonography (USG). Pilomatrixoma was considered in the differential diagnosis in eight patients (15.3%) by a radiologist. Conclusion: Pilomatrixoma is one of childhood benign skin tumors which could be detected by superficial USG method in children. It should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis in children with superficial masses
