- Abstract
- Cutaneous leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor that originates from the smooth muscles derived from arrector pili muscles, the media of dermal blood vessels and the dartos muscle of the scrotum, vulva or nipples. Piloleiomyomas usually occur in the second to third decades of life with an equal incidence in men and women. They can be solitary, but multiple lesions are seen in 80% of these patients. Although multiple leiomyomas are often grouped, unilateral zosteriform pilar leiomyoma is rare. We report here on a rare case of grouped piloleiomyomas that presented as a zosteriform pattern on the right trunk of a 59-year-old woman.
