“…Muscle herniation is a relatively common complaint among athletes and it has been frequently reported in the orthopedic surgery literature 5,6 . Most dermatologists are unfamiliar with this condition, and they are likely to consider it as a peculiar kind of tumor 1,7 . For the case presented herein, the provisional diagnosis was angiolipomatosis, and an unnecessary skin biopsy was performed.…”

The term muscle herniation represents focal muscular protrusions through an acquired or congenital fascial defect. The anterior tibialis muscle is the most common site of herniation. Dynamic ultrasonography has become an important tool in dermatology for diagnosing suspected muscle herniation because it is a non-invasive, highly accurate, readily available and cost-effective imaging technique. We present here the case of a 21-year-old male Korean soldier who underwent dynamic ultrasonography to confirm the diagnosis of anterior tibialis muscle herniation.

“…They belong to a group of painful tumors of skin like eccrine spiradenoma, neuroma, dermatofibroma, angiolipoma, neurilemmoma, endometrioma, glomus tumor, and granular cell tumor. 1 Leiomyomas can be differentiated into solitary, segmental and diffuse or disseminated subtypes. Histologically three different tumors can be identified: Piloleiomyomas are tumors of the smooth arrector pili muscle, leiomyomas of the nipple and genital leiomyomas arising from mammary muscles or tunica dartos of the scrotum, and angioleiomyomas from smooth muscles of blood vessels.…”

Background: Cutaneous mosaicism is a possible cause of segmental skin diseases. Cutaneous leiomyomatosis represent a spectrum of conditions ranging from single lesions to disseminated wide distribution. Reed's syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas. Main observation:We observed a segmental cutaneous piloleimyomatosis type 1 in a 55-year old female who had an uterus extirpation because of uterine leiomyomas. The cutaneous lesions were moderately painful and localized on her left upper trunk. They presented as firm nodules and small plaques in a linear arrangement. Renal cancer was excluded. Conclusion:In patients with multiple cutaneous (pilo)leiomyomas a search for underlying systemic diseases is necessary in order to not miss benign or malignant tumors of internal organs.

“…An old acronym may help us to remember them. LEND AN EGG tumors (leiomyoma, eccrine spiradenoma, neuroma, dermatoibroma, angiolipoma, neurilemmoma, endometrioma, glomus tumor, and granular cell tumors) must always be considered when there is a tumoral lesion associated with pain [26].…”

Trichodynia is deined as a painful sensation in the skin of the scalp or the hair without an underlying cutaneous disease. The term "trichodynia" (cutaneous dysesthesia syndrome) has also been proposed for discomfort, pain, burning, or stinging of the scalp related to difuse alopecia. Probably, the difuse alopecia or telogen eluvium and trichodynia are related. The underlying mechanisms creating the pain are not clear, though it has been proposed that it is probably multi-etiological. The most accepted hypotheses are increased expression of the neuropeptide substance P, underlying psychiatric disorders, nutritional deiciencies, and perifollicular inlammation. Although dealing with trichodynia can be distressing and literature support is weak, there are a number of treatments available.
