Sažetak

The aim is to present a case of pilomatrixoma in the periocular area in a 10-yearold female through retrospective review of medical records of a single patient. A 10-year-old female developed a lesion under her right eyebrow over a period of one year. The rest of the ophthalmic history was unremarkable. On examination, oval, well-defined, subcutaneous tumor measuring 7x4 mm was found under the right eyebrow. It gave bluish tint under the firmly adherent overlying skin of normal color and texture. Rocky hard and non-tender, it was mobile over the underlying tissues. Total excision biopsy was performed under general anesthesia. Histopathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma. Pilomatrixoma is a rare tumor with head, neck and periocular area being the commonest sites. It is often clinically misdiagnosed and/or missed on differential diagnosis. Although a benign tumor, malignant transformation into pilomatrix carcinoma has been described. Thus, total surgical excision of the mass is recommended.
