Pilar leiomyoma with dermatofibroma-like dermatoscopic features : a clinical challenge

Theodosiou, Grigorios LU orcid (2026) In Skin Health and Disease 6(4). p.613-615
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.
