Abstract
An elderly woman presented with a large, fungating mass over the occipital portion of the scalp. Biopsy revealed this to be a pilar tumor of the scalp. The tumor was excised with a margin of normal tissue and the defect was closed with advancement of scalp and neck skin. Follow-up at 6 months revealed no recurrence of the lesion.
