Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is an infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), spread worldwide including Japan. This COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of life around the world. To prevent the spread of infection, several COVID-19 vaccines were rapidly developed and their vaccination is recommended. While safety and effectiveness of these vaccines have been shown, various adverse reactions occur with a certain frequency. Pilomatricoma is a benign subcutaneous tumor. Cause of pilomatricoma is unclear, however, an external insult could be a cause of part of pilomatricoma. Herein, we report a rare case of pilomatricoma after COVID-19 vaccination. Pilomatricoma should be included in the differential diagnoses of nodular lesions arising after vaccination sites, including the COVID-19 vaccine.
