Abstract
Pilomatricomas are uncommon benign tumors usually involving the head and neck region. They are
commonly seen in children and adolescents with a female preponderance. We report four cases of eyelid pilomatricomas
diagnosed between 2009 and 2012 and review the clinical and histopathological features. Clinically two cases were
diagnosed as dermoid cyst, one case as pyogenic granuloma and one as epidermal cyst. The diagnosis of Pilomatricoma
was done in all the cases after histological examination of the excision biopsy specimen.
