Dermatoscopy of multiple piloleiomyomas with disseminated and segmental distribution

Multiple segmental piloleiomyoma: unrecognised entity

“…Dermoscopic patterns usually include delicate pigment network with total distribution [2,4]. Segmental (zosteriform) distribution was rarely found [3]. Here we present a case report of multiple segmental piloleiomyoma.…”

“…Piloleiomyomas (PL) arise from the arrector pili muscle [2]. PL may be a single lesion, but more often they are multiple [2,3]. Dermoscopic patterns usually include delicate pigment network with total distribution [2,4].…”

“…Multiple piloleiomyomas could be accompanied by uterine leiomyomatosis, or rarely by renal cell carcinoma [3,5]. Simultaneous incidence of multiple piloleiomyomas and renal cell carcinoma has been described as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome (HLRCC), which is an autosomal dominant disease [5].…”

Multiple piloleiomyomas: a case series with dermoscopic features and a literature review

“…We observed presence of multiple yellow-to-white clods in two out of 3 patients from our case series. This dermoscopic feature has so far only been reported in 1 patient with multiple segmental CPLs [ 7 ].…”

“…CPLs are usually clinically misdiagnosed and the proper diagnosis is made upon histopathological examination. Few reports characterizing the dermoscopic findings in CPLs are available in medical literature in English [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
