Abstract

We report a huge pilomatrixoma of the left shoulder in an elderly female, raising fear of malignancy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging delineated the swelling and wide surgical excision was performed. Post operative recovery was uneventful. Long term follow up is necessary in view of the possibility of recurrence and malignant transformation.
