Pilomatricoma Of Cheek Mimicking Malignancy: A Diagnostic Challenge On Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology

ABSTRACT

Pilomatricoma is a benign adnexal lesion which is often diagnosed on cytology. Sometimes cytomorphology may pose diagnostic challenge and may mimic malignant neoplasm. We present a case of a slow growing nodular swelling on the right upper cheek in a 9-year-old male child with similar diagnostic difficulty on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
