Multiple pilomatrixomata and myotonic dystrophy: a familial association. 1999

The association of pilomatrixoma and myotonic dystrophy has been described in the past in 13 publications in the English literature. The association seems to involve the development of pilomatrixomata before signs of myotonic dystrophy. Myotonic dystrophy is the commonest adult dystrophy and is an autosomaldominant disease with a variable phenotypic penetrance. The disease is determined by a genetic locus on chromosome 19q and can be diagnosed using methods of DNA testing. We describe the 25th case of a patient with both conditions together with a review of the literature. To our knowledge, no other patient has had such a large number of histologically proven pilomatrixomata.

D018296 Pilomatrixoma A tumor composed of cells resembling those of the hair matrix, which undergo 'mummification' and may calcify. It is a relatively uncommon tumor, which may occur at any age from infancy. The majority of patients are under 20, and females are affected more than males. The lesion is usually a solitary deep dermal or subcutaneous tumor 3-30 mm in diameter, situated in the head, neck, or upper extremity.
