Abstract
Clinical and histological anetoderma-like changes of the skin above Malherbe''s tumor (pilomatrixoma) may be of diagnostic value since they were observed 5 times in 22 cases. The histological study of 46 cases of Malherbe''s tumor shows a high incidence of dermal atrophy and decrease of elastic fibers in the reticular dermis above the tumor, a possible consequence of cellular infiltrates surrounding the tumor and seen in half the present patients.
