Pilar leiomyoma with dermatofibroma-like dermatoscopic features: a clinical challenge
1Department of Clinical Sciences, University of Lund, Lund, Sweden.
Abstract:
Pilar leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour that derives from the arrector pili muscle. Due to its rarity, the dermatoscopic features of pilar leiomyoma are scarcely reported in the literature. Herein, we report a further case of pilar leiomyoma that highlights its dermatofibroma-like dermatoscopic features and underscores that, despite advances in noninvasive imaging technologies, histopathology remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of painful skin lesions.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
