Abstract
We report the case of a 41-year-old male, affected by Klinefelter's sy ndrome and myotonic dystrophy, with an ossifying solitary pilomatricom a of the scalp and thrombotic nodular lesions of the legs. Pilomatrico ma, more frequently multiple and familial, is believed to be a cutaneo us marker for myotonic dystrophy. The leg lesions were attributed to a primary hypercoagulable state due to abnormal platelet hyperaggregabi lity.
