ABSTRACT
Pilomatricoma, also known as calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe, is a common benign skin adnexal tumor with differentiation toward hair cortex cells, commonly seen in head and neck region of children. It is usually solitary. Herein, we present a rare case of pilomatricoma with extensive osseous metaplasia as a thigh swelling in an adult female, considered clinically to be a sebaceous cyst. Florid osseous metaplasia is extremely rare in cases of pilomatricoma. To date, fewer than 10 cases of pilomatricoma with extensive osseous metaplasia at different sites have been reported in the English literature.
