Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an uncommon inherited disease. Anesthesia for DM patients is tough due to its potency of cardiogenic and pulmonary problems, but a series of studies have shown how to manage and avoid complications and situations. We describe a case of a 33-year-old male patient who was scheduled for an elective excision & biopsy on the left axillae for hidradenitis suppurativa with DM type I. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium. Sugammadex is used as a reversal agent of neuromuscular blockade. He didn’t show myotonia during surgery and emergence. He also didn’t show postoperative pulmonary complications.

This is the first report of pilomatrix carcinoma in a man with C282Y myotonic dystrophy type 1. This pilomatrix carcinoma had originally presented as a rapidly growing recurrence of a histopathologically confirmed pilomatrixoma, removed a year prior. On examination, the fungating mass had measured 10 × 23 cm. A wide local resection with removal of suspicious lymph nodes was preformed, and the resulting defect was reconstructed with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and skin graft. Histologic investigation of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrix carcinoma. This is the first reported case of pilomatrix carcinoma in a patient with a genetic condition that often presents with scalp pilomatrixomas. Potential implications of myotonic dystrophy on developing pilomatrix carcinoma are discussed.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are mostly known for their gene regulation properties, but they also play an important role in intercellular signaling. This means that they can be found in bodily fluids, giving them excellent biomarker potential. Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) is the most frequent autosomal dominant muscle dystrophy in adults, with an estimated prevalence of 1:8000. DM1 symptoms include muscle weakness, myotonia, respiratory failure, cardiac conduction defects, cataracts, and endocrine disturbances. Patients display heterogeneity in both age of onset and disease manifestation. No treatment or cure currently exists for DM1, which shows the necessity for a biomarker that can predict disease progression, providing the opportunity to implement preventative measures before symptoms arise. In the past two decades, extensive research has been conducted in the miRNA expression profiles of DM1 patients and their biomarker potential. Here we review the current state of the field with a tissue-specific focus, given the multi-systemic nature of DM1 and the intracellular signaling role of miRNAs.
