Magnetic resonance imaging findings of basal cell adenoma in Curschmann-Steinert myotonic dystrophy

Acta Radiol. 2006 Mar;47(2):205-7. doi: 10.1080/02841850500447237.

Abstract

Myotonic dystrophy Curschmann Steinert is a common hereditary disorder that in some cases can be combined with cutaneous tumors, which is an association that is rarely described in the literature. We present the magnetic resonance imaging in the unusual combination of a patient with known myotonic dystrophy and recurrent basal cell tumor.
