Popis: Pilomatrixial carcinoma is the malignant variety of pilomatrixoma. It is a malignant lesion, locally aggressive that can reappear, specially if not completely removed. Scanty are the number of cases listed in the literature (2). Although metastases are uncommon one or twice references can be found in the writings (1). We report 2 cases of pilomatrixial carcinoma located in the middle canthal and malar zones, which were treated surgically: excision of the tumor and reconstruction by means of a local rotation flap.
