Abstract
- Pilomatricoma is a tumor with differentiation toward hair cortex cells. There have been a few cases of multiple familial pilomatricomas in association with myotonic muscular dystrophy. We report two members of the family(brother and sister) with association of multiple pilomatricomas and myotonic muscular dystrophy. Multiple familial pilomatricomas may be a cutaneous manifestation of the myotonic syndrome.
