Abstrakt: Background: Pilomatricomas, which are usually solitary, firm to hard tumors that are covered by normal skin, rarely show a bullous appearance.
Objective: To discuss, through a case report, the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of bullous pilomatricomas.
Methods: A 15-year-old boy presented with a firm, well-defined tumor on his right arm that showed dark-blue discoloration and bullous formation over it.
Results: Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of bullous pilomatricoma.
Conclusion: The presence of dilated lymphatics, also seen in our patient, is a common feature of bullous pilomatricomas.
