ABSTRACT
Pilomatrixomas are benign, calcified epitheliomas of the hair follicle, predominately affecting children and commonly presenting in the head and neck region. The current literature is almost unanimous in recommending surgical excision. Reconstruction of these defects may require the need for a skin graft, resulting in poor cosmetic outcome and donor site morbidity. We present two cases demonstrating the benefits of minimal access incisions for pilomatrixomas in children. We recommend that multiple or recurrent lesions should prompt referral to a specialist for management and long-term follow-up.
