Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors.
  • Facial leiomyomas are rare, with few reported cases.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with multiple leiomyomas exclusively on the left cheek.
  • The facial lesions caused significant cosmetic disfigurement.
  • Lesions were painful, exacerbated by cold weather due to their exposed location.

Findings:

  • This case represents an unusual localized presentation of multiple leiomyomas.
  • The exposed facial location contributed to pain and cosmetic concerns.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering leiomyomas in facial masses.
  • Management requires addressing both cosmetic and symptomatic aspects.
  • Further research into the etiology of localized leiomyomatosis may be warranted.
