  • Title: [Multiple pilomatricoma. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Urvoy M, Legall F, Toulemont PJ, Chevrant-Breton J.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1996; 19(6-7):464-6. PubMed ID: 8881409.
    Abstract:
    Pilomatricoma is a benign, solitary tumor. The histopathologic findings of viable basaloid cells in the periphery, shadow cells in the central part and foci of calcification are characteristic of pilomatricoma. The microscopic aspect of multiple pilomatricomas was not different from solitary pilomatricomas. Though, some consider them as a pathognomonic sign of myotonic dystrophy. Complete surgical excision is the best management.
