Popis:	Benign calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe or pilomatricoma is an uncommon lesion in the pinna, arising from the matrix cells at the base of the hair. Histologically it was characterized by the presence of ghost cells, basophilic cells and foreign body giant cells. It is a rare benign tumor, starting in the hair matrix and clinically resembling a hard subcutaneous swelling. We report a case of 50 year-old female with a pilomatricoma in the pinna. We discuss the clinical, histopathological characteristics of pilomatricoma with review of literature.
