Abstract

We present the clinical case of a young woman with pilomatricoma of the finger, a very rare location. The patient got infected after receiving radioiodine therapy to treat a thyroid carcinoma. Given the patients high functional requirements we choose a minimal treatment which allowed her to maintain a sufficient functionality.
