Abstract:A case of a solitary pilar leiomyoma of the finger in a 47-year-old female is presented. Although leiomyomas of the hand have been described, they typically originate from the smooth muscle of vascular structures. The present case is a leiomyoma derived from smooth muscle of the arrector pili muscle. This has not been reported in the literature. The lesion was excised, symptomatic improvement was achieved, and there are no signs of recurrence at early follow-up
