title: Multiple pilomatricomas: report of two cases and review of the association with myotonic dystrophy.
abstract: Two patients are reported who experienced multiple pilomatricomas beginning in childhood.

Previous reports of multiple pilomatricomas and the association with myotonic dystrophy are reviewed.
