Malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumor, though uncommon, predominantly occurs in the scalp, trunk, head, and neck, and females are more commonly affected. It is rarely seen in the extremities, and malignant transformation is a rarity. Due to the rarity of malignant transformation, only a hand full of cases has been documented in the literature. We present an unusual case of gluteal malignant proliferating pilar tumor in an elderly male.
