| Abstract: | This is a report of a case of a 12-year-old boy with an asymptomatic papular eruption present since birth, which showed the histological features of a hamartomatous proliferation of cutaneous smooth muscle cells, most likely of the arrectores pilorum muscles. The present paper describes the fine structure of this condition, for which the term "cutaneous smooth muscle hamartoma" is suggested. |
