Concomitant Pilomatrixoma and Peripheral Schwannoma in a Child

Abstract

Background: Peripheral schwannomas and pilomatrixoma are rare clinical features in childhood. The concomitant presence of these tumors in childhood are not described yet. Patients: We describe the first case of a concomitant peripheral benign schwannoma and pilomatrixoma located at the head in a 10-year-old female patient. Method: Case Report.
