Pilomatricoma, or Malherbe's calcified epithelioma, is a benign adnexal skin tumor, most often seen in children and localized to the upper half of the body. We report a form of pilomatricoma of the eyebrow in a woman. A 56-year-old female patient, with no previous pathological history, presented with a nodular lesion of the right eyebrow that had been evolving for 5 months, indurated, 2 cm long and slow to evolve. This cutaneous tumour is rare in adults, and its diagnosis is often unrecognized preoperatively due to its great clinical polymorphism. Histological examination reveals mummified cells. Treatment is based on complete surgical excision, to reduce the risk of recurrence.
