ABSTRACT

Pilomatricoma is a relatively common benign neoplasm of hair matrix cells, which typically presents as a firm skin-colored nodule on the head and neck in young people. Sometimes the overlying skin may be anetodermic. While most lesions are solitary, multiple pilomatricomas may be present. Multiple pilomatricoma may be sporadic, familial o associated to myotonic dystrophy. The association of multiple pilomatricomas with myotonic dystrophy is well documented. We report a case of multiple and sporadic pilomatricomas, being one of them anetodermic and review literature.
