Cutaneous leiomyoma is an infrequently occurring benign tumor that arises from smooth muscle in the skin. Pilar leiomyoma, a subtype of cutaneous leiomyoma, arises from the arrector pili muscle associated with hair follicles. Pilar leiomyoma, particularly in the head and neck region, is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. We report one patient who developed pilar leiomyoma of the nasal dorsum, explore the differential diagnosis and review the characteristics of previously reported individuals with pilar leiomyoma of the nasal dorsum.

Pilar leiomyoma or piloleiomyoma is a benign neoplasm of the smooth muscle arising from the arrector pili muscle. It manifests as brown to red firm papulonodules with sites of predilection being the face, trunk, and extensor surfaces of the extremities. Histologically, the lesions exhibit ill-defined dermal tumors with interlacing fascicles of spindle cells.

Multiple pilar leiomyomas may be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and may be associated with uterine fibroids and renal cell carcinoma, also known as Reed Syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the ERG protein in diagnosing dermatofibroma/fibrous histiocytoma (DF/FH), a common benign skin tumor.
- Researchers analyzed a total of 97 cases of ordinary DF/FH along with various other types of skin neoplasms to assess ERG's immunohistochemical expression.
- Results showed high ERG positivity in DF/FH, suggesting its potential utility in differentiating DF/FH from dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).

Dear Editor, Cutaneous leiomyomas (CL) are rare, benign smooth muscle tumors of the skin (1). There are 3 subtypes with different origins and histopathologic features: piloleiomyoma, genital leiomyoma, and angioleiomyoma (2). Pilar leiomyoma is the most common subtype originating from arrector pili muscles of pilosebaceous unit.
