Bilateral multisegmental zosteriform leiomyoma cutis: A rare entity

Abstract

Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign tumors derived from the smooth muscles of the skin. They are firm, skin-colored to brownish, frequently painful papules and nodules presenting either as a solitary tumor or multiple clustered lesions. Uncommon patterns of multiple leiomyoma cutis include linear, zosteriform, or dermatomal-like arrangement of lesions. We saw a 32-year-old man who presented with clusters of skin colored to reddish brown, occasionally painful papules and nodules distributed segmentally over C6 to T8 dermatomes on left side and T11 to L1 dermatomes on right side. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous leiomyoma. The case is reported here for the occurrence of this benign cutaneous neoplasm in an extremely rare bilateral multisegmental distribution.

“…2 It can be categorized into three subtypes depending upon the origin, arrector pili mucles (pilar leiomyoma), smooth muscle of blood vessels (angioleiomyoma) and tunica dartos or labia majora (dartoic or genital leiomyoma). 3 cutaneous leiomyomas are painful tumors that are more common in adults than children. 4 In 1880, Besnier classified leiomyomas as solitary or multiple.…”

Zosteriform pilar leiomyoma associated with uterine leiomyoma: A case report

“…Leiomyomas were first termed by Virchow in 1854 as “tuberculum dolorosum.” 1 Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare, benign tumors that may be sporadic or inherited, originated from smooth muscle fibers, and can be associated with various disorders 2 . It can be categorized into three subtypes depending upon the origin, arrector pili muscles (pilar leiomyoma), smooth muscle of blood vessels (angioleiomyoma), and tunica dartos or labia majora (dartoic or genital leiomyoma) 3 . cutaneous leiomyomas are painful tumors that are more common in adults than children 4 .…”
