Abstract
Pilomatricoma is a benign, solitary tumor. The histopathologic finding s of viable basaloid cells in the periphery, shadow cells in the centr al part and foci of calcification are characteristic of pilomatricoma. The microscopic aspect of multiple pilomatricomas was not different f rom solitary pilomatricomas. Though, some consider them as a pathognom onic sign of myotonic dystrophy. Complete surgical excision is the bes t management.
