This study details a rare case of zosteriform cutaneous leiomyoma, a benign smooth muscle tumor. The patient experienced significant pain relief with nifedipine treatment, offering a new therapeutic option for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pilar leiomyomas are typically multiple and found on the extremities, trunk, and face.
  • Atypical presentations, such as linear or dermatomal distribution, are uncommon.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 25-year-old housewife with painful, unilateral, zosteriform cutaneous leiomyoma.
  • The lesions followed a dermatomal pattern, presenting an unusual clinical manifestation.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed interlacing smooth muscle bundles originating from arrector pili muscles.
  • The patient's pain was significantly reduced by nifedipine (10 mg) administered twice daily.

Implications:

  • This case highlights an unusual presentation of cutaneous leiomyoma.
