Reed syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by the presence of cutaneous leiomyomas, typically of pilar origin, and their association with uterine leiomyomas in women. We present the case of a 23-year-old male patient with a history of papulopustular acne, who developed painful skin lesions on the anterior thorax. Dermoscopic examination and skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of piloleiomyomas. Considering the maternal history of multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas, the case was diagnosed as Reed syndrome. Accurate and timely diagnosis of multiple cutaneous leiomyomas is essential, as they are the primary clinical clue for suspecting Reed syndrome-a condition associated with both benign and malignant tumors.
