A Case of Acquired Cutaneous Smooth Muscle Hamartoma

Abstract

Smooth muscle hamartoma was first described by Stokes in 1923 as the disease characterized by increase of well-defined bundles of smooth muscle fibers in the dermis. It can be either congenital or acquired. Acquired ones are aften in association with Becker's nevus. We present a case of acquired smooth muscle hamartoma that did not show any pigmentation or hair growth.
