Pilomatrixoma is an uncommon, benign growth originated from the hair matrix that may have several clinical presentations and is frequently misdiagnosed. It is mostly located in head and neck especially in the preauricular region. Although the head and neck region is the most common area where calcifying epithelioma occurs, otolaryngologists do not have sufficient information about the disease. Therefore, epidemiology, clinical findings, clinical examination, pathology, therapy and prognosis of calcifying epithelioma were discussed. Our intention is to include the pilomatrixoma among the possible differential diagnosis of calcified masses inside the growths of the parotid gland. |
