Abstract
Pilomatricoma, pilomatrixoma, or calcified epithelioma of Malherbe is an uncommon,
benign, isolated tumor of hair matrix primarily seen in children and young adults.
The most common location is the head and neck region. It usually manifests as a small
nodular mass. Here we report a rare case of giant pilomatricoma over the sternum in
a 60-year-old male patient with an unusual clinical and radiological presentation
mimicking a calcified sebaceous cyst.
