Overview
A rare skin tumor (melanocytic matricoma), 6 mm in diameter, was diagnosed on the skin of the back in a 66-year-old man. It was composed of two cellular types: 1. epithelial cells with hair follicle differentiation and 2. dendritic melanocytes. After two years of follow-up there are no signs of a relapse or generalisation of the tumor.
Keywords:
melanocytic matricoma - tumors of hair follicle - adnexal skin tumors – matricoma
