Nipple leiomyoma: A rare neoplasm with a broad spectrum of histologic appearances
Authors:Phoebe Hammer  Kevin White  Stephanie Mengden  Vessy Korcheva  Philipp W Raess
Abstract:Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare benign smooth‐muscle tumors. These lesions are distinguished based on their cell of origin and are subclassified as pilar leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma, and genital‐type leiomyoma. Nipple leiomyoma is the least common genital‐type leiomyoma, arising from the dartoic muscle cell of the nipple. Histologic examination of the lesion is necessary for definitive diagnosis, and these uncommon tumors can pose a diagnostic challenge. We describe herein a series of six nipple leiomyomas with a spectrum of histologic appearances.
Keywords:cutaneous leiomyoma  nipple leiomyoma  smooth‐muscle tumors
