Why is it important?
masquerading appendagial tumor are not very uncommon,so every such cases should be biopised to confirm your dignosis
Perspectives
In our case the patient presented with very short history,atypical appearance and bigger size ,unusual site, to be thought as pilomatricoma for first differential was not convincing,so when it came to be pilomatricoma on biopsy,we wanted it to be send for (photo quiz) publication.
