Abstract
Pilomatricoma is typically an isolated benign tumor of the hair follicle matrix with very low incidence, recurrence, and initial diagnostic accuracy. This report presents a case of a pilomatricoma of the left chest that was initially ignored due to the limited extent of access to medical care in Palau, and subsequent treatment for cervical cancer. The paper helps to emphasize the importance of a vast differential diagnosis, especially in those patients from the Pacific Islands.Entities:
