“…1 While solitary pilomatrixomas are the most common benign superficial tumour in children, 1 they comprise 0.12% of all cutaneous tumours. 1 Multiple pilomatrixomas are rare, associated with genetic disorders, 1 including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), myotonic muscular dystrophy type 1, Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome, 4 Turner syndrome 5 Kabuki syndrome 6 and the childhood cancer syndrome constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD). 7 A 41-year-old man presented with multiple firm, asymptomatic, fleshy mobile lesions, ranging in size from 2-30 mm in diameter, at the left pre-auricular area, left shoulder and upper lateral aspect of the left arm, along with two smaller lesions on his scalp.…”
