Burned-out pilomatricoma with osteoma-like features. Small amounts of basophilic matrical / supramatrical cells can be found turning abruptly into metaplastic bone. Some of these cells display trichohyalin granules, an evidence of differentiation toward the lowermost part of the inner root sheath (Huxley's layer). No convincing shadow cells can be discerned at all.

What a case, dr Hurt! Very instructive comments from the forum as well. A spot dx case (#409) of pilomatricoma with comparable changes was posted early last year, although in that particular case osteoid formation was admixed with calcifications.
