Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim is to present a case of calcificating epithelioma of Malherbe (CEM) in the shoulder area in a 7-year-old female through retrospective review of medical records of a single patient.

CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: A 7-year-old female developed a lesion In the distal part of the right shoulder. On examinationval, subcutaneous tumor measuring up to 2 sm was found . It gave bluish tint under the firmly adherent overlying skin of normal color and texture. Rocky hard and non-tender, it was mobile over the underlying tissues. Total excision biopsy was performed under general anesthesia. Histopathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CEM.

CONCLUSION: CEM is a rare tumor with head, neck. It is often clinically misdiagnosed and/or missed on differential diagnosis. Total surgical excision of the mass is recommended. For children, when families desire greater preoperative certainty, additional diagnostic procedures may be useful.
