ABSTRACT:
Pilomatrixoma, a rare
benign tumour of sebaceous gland is commonly known as calcifying epithelioma of
Malherbe or Tricholemmal cyst. We came across even the rarest form of this
benign tumour of skin. Our case report was interestingly detected at a higher
age group, unusual site of the body, multiple in nature following postoperative
incision drainage of abscess in left axilla.
