ABSTRACT

Pilomatrix carcinoma es la forma maligna del pilomatrixoma que es una neoplasia benigna que se presenta en niños y adultos. Es infrecuente, se presenta como un nódulo solitario a predominio de cabeza y cuello, de tamaño variable; en varones de mediana edad. Se considera una neoplasia maligna de bajo grado y el manejo de elección es la escisión completa. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 32 años con un nódulo en región temporal occipital derecha, blando e indoloro, de 1,8 cm de longitud. Al corte se observó un tejido sólido amarillento encapsulado, y a la microscopía, bordes bien delimitados por células basaloides con núcleos hipercromáticos, pleomórficos, nucléolo prominente y de 0 a 3 mitosis atípicas por campo de alto poder; centro necrótico y células "fantasma". Dentro del diagnóstico diferencial debe considerarse el pilomatrixoma proliferante, el quiste triquilemal proliferante maligno y el carcinoma de células basales con diferenciación matricial. Los estudios complementarios de inmunohistoquímica no fueron contributorios. (AU)


Pilomatrix carcinoma is the malignant counterpart of pilomatrixoma, which is a benign neoplasm affecting children and adults. It is a rare condition, presenting as a solitary nodule on the head or neck mostly seen in middle age males. It is considered a low grade malignant condition; surgical removal is the treatment of choice. We report the case of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with a nodular lesion of 1.8 cm located on the temporo-occipital region. The section of this nodule showed an encapsulated solid yellow tissue that showed under the microscopy well demarcated borders with basal cells presenting with pleomorphic, hyperchromatic nucleus, prominent nucleolus and 0-3 atypical mitosis per high power field, necrotic center and "ghost cells". The differential diagnosis should include pilomatrixoma proliferans, malignant proliferative trichilemmal cyst and basal-cell carcinoma with matricial differentiation. Complementary immunohistochemistry studies were non-contributory. (AU)
