[Multiple pilomatrixomas associated with Steinert disease].
A rare case of pilomatrixomas associated with Steinert's disease is reported. The patient had 14 tumors which were surgically excised and analyzed under the microscope. Such association seems to be much more common than in the general population. Besides these patients usually have multiple tumours and a positive familial history. This suggest a predisposition to the appearance of these tumours.
