Pilomatrixoma located on the cruris: an uncommon localization

Pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor of hair follicle matrix cells. The majority of all pilomatrixomas were reported to affect the head–neck region and rarely the upper extremity. We present a case of left-leg pilomatrixoma, which is a extremely rare localization, in a 10-year-old boy.
