Abstract
Pilomatrixoma or calcified epithelioma of Malherbe is a tumour with differentiation toward hair cells. The face and the upper extremities are the most common sites with an exception at cubital fossa region [1]. Here we present a case of a middle-aged man came with complaint of a swelling at left arm for 3-4 years. On fine needle aspiration cytology, it showed clump of anucleate keratinized squamous cells, small basaloid cells and inflammatory cells. We made a provisional diagnosis of pilomatrixoma which was later confirmed Histopathologically.
