Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological features of PMC, including the patient age at clinical presentation, gender, anatomical location, tumor size, preoperative clinical and histopathologic diagnosis. Methods: This is a retrospective study to analyze all cases of PMC diagnosed in two hospitals from August 2008 to January 2017 in Southern Region, Saudi Arabia. Detailed medical records and histopathologic material review were done for all cases of pilomatricoma. Cases were identified using the search engine of each hospital electronic filing system. Results: 23 cases with an age range from 8 to 68 years (mean 28.8). The majority of patients were in their second (39%) and fourth (26%) decades of life with a female to male ratio of 1.2 to 1.1. Majority of the cases were noted in the neck (43.5%), followed by head region (30%). The tumor size ranged from 0.3 to 4.0 cm (mean 1.6). The most common preoperative clinical misdiagnosis was sebaceous cyst (34.8%). All cases were confirmed histopathologically as pilomatricoma. All tumors were excised surgically. Conclusions: PMC has a wide variety of clinical presentations and is commonly misdiagnosed with other dermatological conditions. PMC should be included in the differential diagnosis of nodules, particularly in the head and neck region. Increasing the clinical awareness and familiarity with the tumor may lead to accurate clinical diagnosis.

Objectives: The present work aimed to measure the quality of life among adolescents in Abha City in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed targeting all male and female students enrolled in Abha secondary schools. The Arabic version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (condensed edition) was used. Results: The study included 400 students. The reported average score of quality of life ranged from 60.6 for the physical health domain to 70.8 for the environmental domain. Factors that significantly affect the physical health domain were age, gender, nationality, mothers’ education, and monthly income. Regarding the psychological health domain, the significant determinants were age, gender, birth order, parental status, and income. As for the social relationship domain, the only significant factor was age. Regarding the environment domain, the significant determinants were birth order and income. Conclusion: The study augments evidence to boost relations between individual characters, lifestyle health behaviors, and quality of life among adolescents so that health managers, health instructors, and health advocates can create and execute relevant plans and services to specific groups to improve their quality of life.
