JOURNAL ARTICLE
Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma with myxoid alteration arising in a setting of multiple cutaneous smooth muscle neoplasms.
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology 2006 September
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors that originate from the arrector muscle of hair follicles or the smooth muscle of blood vessels.
CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old male presented with a single, erythematous nodule on the left upper arm. This lesion developed within the excision scar of a piloleiomyoma that had been excised 3 years ago. Additionally, physical examination revealed a tender nodule on the right ear.
RESULTS: Histological examination showed a cutaneous leiomyosarcoma with myxoid alteration on the upper arm and an angioleiomyoma on the right ear.
CONCLUSION: Myxoid leiomyosarcomas have exclusively been reported in the uterus and gastrointestinal tract, but not in the skin. Here, we describe a case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma with myxoid alteration that developed in the excision scar of a piloleiomyoma and was accompanied by a cutaneous angioleiomyoma in a different location.
