| Abstract: | Piloleiomyoma is a benign tumour originating in the smooth muscles of the arrector pili muscle in the skin. The lesions are often sensitive to touch, cold and emotional disturbance. We present a patient with multiple piloleiomyoma (MPL) of the submentum who underwent reconstructive surgery using a submental perforator flap. The result was excellent and there were no postoperative complications. MPL of the submental region is relatively rare; to our knowledge, ours is the first report of MPL treated successfully with a submental perforator flap. |
