description Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign skin tumor differentiating toward hair matrix cells usually encountered in the head and neck region. It is most frequently appearing in the first and second decades of life. Histopathological examination is essential to make definitive diagnosis. Herein, we present an atypical case of multiple pilomatrixomas. A 69-year-old man with multiple voluminous masses over the scalp. Among the three lesions, one was clinically suspicious for malignancy, it measured 17 cm and was ulcerated in places. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma. The tumors were removed surgically with free margins. Otolaryngologist should be familiar with this benign tumor when evaluating soft-tissue mass in the head and neck region.
