description Pilomatrixoma, also known as calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe, is a cutaneous tumor originating from the hair matrix that commonly affects children. Pilomatrixoma is usually solitary and most commonly found on the face, neck, and upper torso, while the scrotum is considered a very rare site. We report a rare location and manifestation of pilomatrixoma as multiple, large, firm, calcified scrotal masses in a 32-years old man. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed.
