Abstract
- Pilomatricoma(calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe) is a rare benign turner of the skin which develops from immature hair matrix cells. The diagnosis of the calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe is only rarely made on clinical ground but is, as a rule, easily made by histologic examination. We briefly report 2 cases of pilomatricoma occurring on upper eyelid with review of the literature.
