Abstract

Multiple and familial cases of pilomatrixomas have been reported in myotonic dystrophy. We report 2 cases of pilomatrixoma in Turner's syndrome. Between 5 and 19 years of age, 1 patient developed 6 pilomatrixomas including atypical occurrences on the chest and the posterior aspect of the leg. This is the first report of multiple pilomatrixomas in Turner's syndrome.
