  • Title: Multiple pilomatricomas in the setting of myotonic dystrophy.
    Author: Park JH, Terushkin V, Brinster N, Leger M, Soter NA.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2016 Dec 15; 22(12):. PubMed ID: 28329537.
    Abstract:
    The association between multiple pilomatricomasand the autosomal dominant neurodegenerativedisorder myotonic dystrophy has been described inthe literature. Although the mechanism is unknown,it is hypothesized that the dystrophia myotonicaprotein kinase mutation in myotonic dystrophyaffects intracellular calcium levels, which alterproliferation and terminal differentiation that leads tocells that are observed in pilomatricomas. We presenta patient with multiple, symptomatic pilomatricomasand myotonic dystrophy, with a strong family historyof both of these rare disorders.
