Pilomatrix carcinoma the malignant counterpart of pilomatrixoma, is very rare. The tumor is locally aggressive with a great tendency for recurrence, but the metastatic potential is limited. Here we present a case report of pilomatrix carcinoma from left flank region with lung and lymph node metastasisn in 53-year-old male. Histologically, it has nuclear pleomorphism and blood vessel infiltration in contrast to pilomatrixoma. Both skin and lung lesions have been improved by 6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil.
