Multiple smooth muscle hamartomas, a rare skin condition, were identified in three family members. This is the first report of this condition affecting multiple relatives at the same body sites.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Smooth muscle hamartoma is a rare congenital skin anomaly.
  • It typically presents as a solitary, hypertrichotic plaque on the trunk or extremities.
  • Multiple lesions are infrequently documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • This study details three individuals from the same family presenting with multiple smooth muscle hamartomas.
  • The lesions appeared as skin-colored patches located on the back and legs.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of smooth muscle hamartomas.

Findings:

  • This case series represents the first documented instance of multiple smooth muscle hamartomas occurring in different members of the same family.
  • Notably, the affected individuals shared similar lesion locations (back and legs).

Implications:

  • This familial occurrence suggests a potential genetic predisposition or inheritance pattern for multiple smooth muscle hamartomas.
  • Further research into the genetic basis of smooth muscle hamartomas is warranted.
  • Understanding familial patterns can aid in early diagnosis and management.
