Abstract (2. Language): 
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to review the clinical and histologic features of pilomatricomas diagnosed in our department. Materials and Methods: In this study, 32 patients with pilomatricoma diagnosed at Pathology Department of Dicle University Medical Faculty, during the period 1984-1999 are presented. Findings: The mean age was 27.43 years and the majority of the cases occurred in the third decade of life. One of our cases was perforating pilomatricoma. Histopathologically, the most important feature of pilomatricoma was shadow cells (ghost cells). We observed that the most common sites were head, neck and upper limb. Conclusions: Pilomatricoma can be easily confused clinically with other lesions.

Amaç: Anabilim Dalı'mızda pilomatrikoma tanısı alan 32 olgunun histolojik ve klinik özelliklerini gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık. Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışmada, 1984-1999 yılları arasında Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı'nda pilomatrikoma tanısı alan 32 olgu sunuldu. Bulgular: Ortalama yaşı 27.43 olup, olguların çoğunluğu üçüncü dekaddaydı. Olgulardan birinde perforasyon izlendi. Histopatolojik olarak pilomatrikomanın en önemli özelliği hayalet hücreleridir. Baş, boyun ve üst ekstremitelerin en sık yerleşim yeri olduğunu izledik. Sonuç: Klinik olarak pilomatrikoma diğer lezyonlarla kolaylıkla karışabilmektedir.
