Abstract

We describe a young Indian male patient who developed a large solitary tumor following an intramuscular injection at the same location. The tumor was histologically proven to be a pilomatricoma. It was treated by surgical excision and there was no recurrence until one year after the operation. An alarming phenomenon following intramuscular injection is presented here for its novelty.
