Abstract
- Cutaneous leiomyoma is a rare, benign tumor of smooth-muscle fibers. Five types of cutaneous leiomyoma include multiple piloleiomyomas, solitary piloleiomyoma, solitary genital leiomyoma, solitary angioleiomyoma and leiomyoma with additional mesenchymal elements. Genital leiomyoma is uncommon, and leiomyomas of the nipple is a rare type of genital leiomyoma. We report a case of cutaneous leiomyoma presenting as a large nipple in a middle-aged woman.
