The pilomatricoma or epithelioma of Malherbe is a mummified benign and rare skin tumor. We report a rare case of palpebral pilomatricoma simulating a chalazion in a 26-year-old patient. This skin tumor is exceptional in adults. Its diagnosis is often missed preoperatively because of its great clinical polymorphism and is histopathologically based on the detection of mummified cells. Its surgical treatment will aim at a complete excision of the tumour in order to minimize the risks of recurrence.
