Abstract
Abstract: Follicular hybrid cysts are uncommon entities derived from 2 or more components of the folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine unit. The pathogenesis of follicular hybrid cysts is uncertain; however, they are proposed to derive from the multipotent nature of follicular stem cells. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is an inherited muscular dystrophy caused by an unstable trinucleotide repeat expansion in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase gene, notably associated with multiple pilomatricomas. We report a novel case of multiple follicular hybrid tumors presenting in association with myotonic dystrophy type 1. We suspect that multipotent follicular stem cells, under the influence of the hypermutability phenotype present in myotonic dystrophy type 1, contributed to the pathogenesis of multiple follicular hybrid tumors in our patient.
