TLDR Multiple pilomatrixoma may indicate Turner syndrome.
The document reported a case of a 13-year-old girl with Turner syndrome who developed 10 separate facial lesions over 7 years, all confirmed as pilomatrixoma through histopathology. Pilomatrixoma is usually a solitary benign tumor of the hair follicle matrix with low recurrence rates. The occurrence of multiple pilomatrixomas in a patient suggested a potential association with Turner syndrome.
