“…Cutaneous leiomyomas can be located asymmetrically on the extensor muscles of the limbs, chest, face and even on the scalp (8). Genital leiomyomas are solitary papulonodules or pedunculated papules located on the scrotum, vulva, or nipple.…”

Introduction. Piloleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor which is caused by erector pili muscle and makes up 5% of all leiomyomas. They can be solitary and multiple. Multiple lesions still pose challenges for clinicians since their treatment option is very limited. Case report. We report a case of a 25-year-old male patient who had painful papules and nodules on the neck and chest for three years. Multiple red-brown papules and nodules in the skin of regio mammaria dextra and regio submandibularis on the left were seen on physical examination. Histopathological examination of punch bi-were seen on physical examination. Histopathological examination of punch biopsy sample revealed well-circumscribed nodule composed of spindle cells. The case was reported as cutaneous leiomyoma (piloleiomyoma). The patient was given 5 mg/day amlodipin and kept under control. Conclusion. The ideal treatment option for piloleiomyoma is surgical excision, but the problem with that treatment is that the lesions have tendency to recur. Medicamentous therapy plays a limited role; however, calcium-channel blockers and α-adrenergic blockers may help in palliating or eliminating associated pain through inhibition of smooth muscle contraction.

“…Angioleiomyomas and piloleiomyomas are the most common subtypes of cutaneous leiomyoma, both of which may occur over the extremities. Due to the nonspecific clinical nature of cutaneous leiomyomas, the diagnosis is primarily based upon histological features [ 9 ].…”

Leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle origin. They are most commonly found in the uterus, but cutaneous leiomyomas may be occasionally present in the extremities and cause pain secondary to mass effect. Few studies have reported leiomyoma of the foot, and leiomyoma of the heel is particularly rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old female who presented to our clinic for a tender nodule on the posterior aspect of her right heel. The tumor was surgically excised and biopsied revealing cutaneous leiomyoma.

“…There are a few original studies investigating clinicopathological features of CSMTs in the relevant literature and most of the studies covering the histopathological aspect of CSMTs are small case series or single case reports (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics of benign and malignant CSMTs, focusing on the rare and unspecified histological features.…”

Objective: Cutaneous smooth muscle tumors represent a rare group of cutaneous lesions including piloleiomyoma, angioleiomyoma, genital leiomyoma, smooth muscle hamartoma, and leiomyosarcoma. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics of CSMTs, focusing on the rare and unspecified histological features. Material and Method:The clinical, demographic and histological findings of the patients with CSMTs were reviewed and evaluated retrospectively. The histopathological sections were re-evaluated for all cases.Results: A total of 32 patients with CSMTs were enrolled. The majority were female (n=20). The most common tumor diagnosed was angioleiomyoma (n=19, 59.4%) followed by piloleiomyoma (n=8, 25%), smooth muscle hamartoma (n=2, 6.3%), leiomyosarcoma (n=2, 6.3%), and genital leiomyoma (n=1, 3%). Five lesions were painful and only 3 specimens were submitted with the preliminary diagnosis of a cutaneous smooth muscle tumor. Conclusion:There are very few studies investigating both clinical and histological characteristics of CSMTs in detail. Along with the classical histological clues, evaluation of the clinical findings and less-defined histological features may enhance the diagnostic accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first original study focusing on the clinical and pathological aspects of CSMTs in our country.
